Real or fake?
Can I tell a photograph from an AI-generated image?
You can register online or directly at the „Alexander Tietz” Library. Seats are limited.
The series
Five questions about the image
The thread is a natural progression: from defence (“is it real?”), to understanding an image’s journey (“where does it come from?”), to how images persuade us, to demystifying how they are made, to civic empowerment (“what are my rights?”). A recurring public-education programme — at the intersection of image theory and everyday life.
II
The biography of an image
Where does an image come from, how old is it, how did it travel?
III
The image that persuades
How does an image influence me without my noticing?
IV
AI is not the enemy
How are generated images actually made — and what are they good for?
V
The image and your rights
What rights do I have, and what do I do if I have been deceived?
Public resources
Take-home materials
Guides and worksheets, freely available — to read and verify images beyond the session itself. (In Romanian.)
