Viewing Rankin: Faik Off at Annroy Studios

Continuing London Photo Week, head to Annroy Studios until Sunday to see a special Rankin exhibition, Faik Off, interrogating the role of human creativity in the age of AI. Rankin has produced a series of AI-generated images and texts that each provoke ambivalent questions about artistic authorship and machine learning.

Rankin – celebrated as one of the UK’s leading photographers and one of the founders of Dazed & Confused magazine – has always been a pioneer in the visual realm. This latest exploration involved full immersion into the AI world, getting acquainted with software such as MidJourney and ChatGPT.

After nine months experimenting with these tech tools and delving deeper into the possibilities and problems with them, Rankin also produced a 420-page publication, also available to browse at the show. It’s a critical, and at times emotive look at AI.
