Lorenzo Aimo

Graduated in Semiotics at Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna with a thesis in Visual Studies, he is currently enrolled in the National PhD program ILF (Image, Language, Figure: forms and modes of mediation), Visual Culture and Media Theory curriculum, managed by the University of Milan in collaboration with Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna. 
His interests revolve around visual culture, particularly image theory and the relationship between images and technologies, images and algorithms, photography and post-photographic theory. His research project examines the conditions of the image, as both an object and a concept, within the context of deep learning neural networks (machine learning), analysing the meanings, properties, values that inform the image within the layered socio-technical processes underpinning discriminative and generative models.
