When Artificial Intelligence Creates New Visibility
How are societal perspectives inscribed in Artificial Intelligence? And which realities remain invisible when technologies are developed primarily from a limited viewpoint? The event Missed Images, New Perspectives: How Feminist AI Can Shape the Future will address these questions on December 2, 2026, at Heilbronn University.
As part of the accompanying program for the traveling exhibition Missed Images, business informatics expert and author Dr. Eva Gengler will speak about feminist and intersectional perspectives on AI. The evening combines a keynote, panel discussion, and exhibition visit into a demanding artistic experience at the intersection of technology, society, and cultural memory.
AI Between Power, Everyday Life, and Social Responsibility
Artificial Intelligence increasingly shapes what information becomes visible, how decisions are formed, and under what conditions people work and live. A feminist perspective expands the technical debate to include questions of power, participation, and representation. The central consideration is for whom AI is developed and which experiences are reflected in its datasets, systems, and applications.
Dr. Eva Gengler conducts intersectional-feminist research at the intersection of power and Artificial Intelligence. As an author, speaker, and co-founder of the feminist AI Community and enableYou, she is committed to just and responsible technology design. Her work connects scientific expertise with social practice and makes visible how closely technical innovation and cultural values are intertwined.
The Aesthetic Experience of the Exhibition Missed Images
Before and after the event, there will be an opportunity to visit the traveling exhibition Missed Images. The exhibition highlights female scientists and pioneers whose contributions in research, science, and innovation have often been inadequately documented or recognized.
The artist and science communicator Gesine Born uses generative image AI to create portraits of women for whom few or no contemporary representations exist. The AI-generated portraits combine historical research with digital image production. In the examination of the works, a special tension arises between photographic appearance, reconstructed memory, and the question of the credibility of artificially generated images.
The exhibition atmosphere thrives on this interplay: faces missing from historical records come into the picture; visual presence does not replace history, but opens a space for recognition and reflection. The installation encourages visitors to think about visibility, memory culture, and the ethical responsibility of image production.
Dialogue Between Art, Science, and Cultural Education
Following the keynote, there will be a discussion on feminist AI and the societal design of technical systems. Here, Artificial Intelligence is not only viewed as an engineering development but as a cultural and political task. Different life realities serve as the starting point for an inclusive form of innovation.
The event is suitable for art enthusiasts, students, researchers, cultural creators, and anyone interested in digitalization, gender, media literacy, or cultural education. The combination of lecture, discussion, and exhibition allows for an aesthetic experience that directly links technical questions with social responsibility.
Conclusion: An Evening for New Perspectives
Visitors can expect an inspiring evening at the intersection of AI research, feminist social analysis, and contemporary exhibition practice. Dr. Eva Gengler's keynote, the discussion, and the AI-generated portraits from the exhibition open new perspectives on visibility, power, and memory. Those who want to understand how a fairer digital future can be shaped should experience this artistic event at Heilbronn University live.
