New online course: Latent Bodies

New online course exploring bodies at the intersection of generative AI and its tools.

This course invites us to think about how bodies perform with and within the latent spaces of technological media. We will consider how bodies are broken apart, analyzed, and reconstructed in generative systems, from dataset fragmentation to diffusion-based reassembly. We will make and share our own experimental artworks while exploring radical and canonical artists and theorists from this multifaceted field.

***Latent Bodies***
30. March - 4. May (no class 27. April)
Online!
Five-weeks, Mondays, 7-9PM CET

Taught by Jess Tucker (they/she), an American and Dutch artist currently based in Berlin. Their performances and installations combine video, electronic music, prints, sculptures, and digital interactivity to playfully examine how machinic mediation shapes our experiences of embodiment, selfhood, and desire. Their work has been featured in international exhibitions and performance programs, including Rewire Festival, FOAM Museum of Photography, Goethe Institut, Sónar+D, the Van Gogh Museum, Mana Contemporary, and the International Museum of Surgical Science. Jess is a 2025 Re:Humanism Prize winner and Lumen Prize Finalist. Jess is currently a Lecturer of Digital Media at NYU Berlin, and they have also taught courses in video and new media art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, University of Iowa, and the China Academy of Art.
