SUMMARY:Open Eye Gallery: Open eye Gallery: First Light Spotlight: Networke
 d Beings
DESCRIPTION:TUESDAY 8 JUNE / 6PM / ZOOM / BOOK HERE\n\nThe recent leaps in
  AI technology have coincided with a renewed interest in the extraordinary
  life and habits of fungi\, whose part in the interconnected ecology of th
 e natural world was previously underestimated. Using internet sourced imag
 ery and AI technology\, artist Talulla Greenwood proposes a connecting thr
 ead between our understanding of the organic networks that connects living
  things\, and the ever increasing capacity for humans to establish new syn
 thetic networks as a means of creation.\n\nFor this edition of First Light
  Spotlight\, the panel will be discussing the unseen networks that govern 
 our lives and environment. Hosting the talk will be First Light curator an
 d photographer Mario Popham\, who will be joined by Talulla\, her tutor Ri
 chard Page (Manchester School of Art) and Matthew Thomas (Writing on the W
 all/Falmouth University)\, who will be reading his new text responding to 
 Talulla’s work.\n\n–\n\nOpen Rooms\, Open Eye Gallery’s digital even
 ts program\, will be hosting a season of talks in partnership with Watersi
 de as we approach the launch of the exhibition\, First Light – New North
 ern Photo Graduates in the spring/summer 2021.\n\nThe exhibition\, devised
  by Waterside’s Mario Popham\, brings together works by 13 photographers
  who have graduated from the region’s educational institutions in 2020. 
 Open Eye Gallery’s writer in residence\, Laura Robertson will be produci
 ng a special First Light edition of Tilt (Open Eye Gallery’s in-house zi
 ne) featuring 13 commissioned pieces of new writing that responds to the s
 elected photographic works.\n\nThis season of talks\, chaired by Laura and
  Mario\, will bring together the photographers\, writers and educators who
  are central to this project. Together they will discuss the ideas and ins
 piration behind the images\, the potential for collaboration across discip
 lines\, the relationship between the image and the word and the role educa
 tors play in the early development of artistic practice.\n\nImage: Talulla
