Ooo!

I've posted another engaging conversation on my Substack. This time with @travisleroy.bsky.social about the invisible labor of image production, CERN, and the challenges of balancing a creative and commercial practice.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about what’s at stake for us creative folks when the ground beneath us feels uncertain.

Beginning next Wednesday, every other week, I’ll be sharing conversations with creative people about the idea of risk. Strap in!

From the opening of ‘Current States of Being: Exploring AI’s Influence on Memory, Identity, and Creativity,’ curated by Sarah Knobel. It was a pleasure to exhibit two bodies of work side-by-side, and to be in such good company alongside @cyberneticforests.bsky.social and Ameera Kawash.

This week I spoke at St Lawrence University with @danielleezzo.bsky.social and Ameera Kawash as part of the Brush Art Gallery show, “Current States of Being,” examining AI’s impact on memory, identity and creativity. artgallery.stlawu.edu/current-stat...

I'm honored to be a Lumen Prize finalist in the Still Image category for An Incantation in Twelve Prompts, a poem paired with camera-born images about falling out of love with photography.

Hats off to all the other artists this year!

I'm thrilled to finally share that Psychic Telephone is going to Indonesia for JIPFest this September. The 22 artist lineup includes two of my favorite working photographers right now, Mackenzie Calle and Nikita Teryoshin, among others.

I wrote about Raque Ford's exhibition ‘The Barkeeper’s Friend’ on view at Greene Naftali for @ocula.com. The show is on view until August 8th. A big thank you to Aimee Walleston for the invitation.

My favorite time of the year is when I start printing my work, getting exhibition-ready, and inviting people into the studio for private viewings before things ship off, which is what I'm busy with all this month. From the series Psychic Telephone, UV prints on metal, 16x20"

I’m over the moon to share with you my first @nytopinion.nytimes.com assignment. “Squashing Spotted Lanternflies Will Get Us Only So Far. We Need Wasps.” by Andrew Zaleski, about managing invasive bug species using biocontrol. An enthusiastic thank you, Elana Schlenker 🐞 Link in bio.

My story traces the phantom presence of a man I’ve never met—my biological father—through inherited photo albums, a vintage brooch, and pixelated home videos. Part speculative memoir, part forensic investigation, it follows the trail of objects and memories across family lines.

I wrote a personal story for the forthcoming book Double Feature from Saint Lucy Books, which pairs vernacular photos from artist Patrick Pound's collection with texts that play into the theme of doubling.

This is especially interesting.

It's been a moment since I shared some new images from the series, Psychic Telephone—a collaboration with the author Marin Sardy. It's affirming to see a body of work emerge from time and effort spent. It's a slow process, but it happens bit by bit.

Danielle Ezzo @danielleezzo.bsky.social · May 20

Wish I could make it!

I was commissioned by @thetransmitter.bsky.social for the NeuroAI column. 'The BabyLM Challenge: In search of more efficient learning algorithms, researchers look to infants' written by Alona Fyshe. Art Direction Rebecca Horne.

Can babies inspire more efficient learning algorithms?

A competition that trains language models on smaller datasets, more akin to how a baby learns, seeks solutions to some of LLM’s major challenges.
