aceAI takes centre stage at Photo Brussels 2025
Who’s afraid of artificial intelligence? Probably all of us are a little – but the artists at the centre of this year’s Photo Brussels festival have embraced the technology to bring us an intriguing and, at times, optimistic exploration of one of the most concerning developments of our time. The ambitious curation by the photography academic Michel Poivert gathers together 17 projects at Brussels’ Hangar gallery. Together their creations reveal the visual and intellectual potential, along with the current limits…
Artists using AI image generators can create new visual worlds and reconstruct under-documented historical figures, demonstrating creative and intellectual potential for photography.
AI image generators like Midjourney reproduced dataset biases, including generic ethnic features, gendered nudity assumptions, and advertising-driven distortions in recreations of famous photographs.
The exhibition notes current technical limits and time-bound dataset gaps, with flaws observed in works made between 2022 and 2023.

Certified into the record
How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0711 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
