ACADEMIC CV
I am currently teaching the online master “AI for Creatives” at LABASAD School of Art & Design, Barcelona.
Since 2022, I have been one of the most sought-after international experts on AI-generated images and videos, giving keynotes at TEDx, re:publica, Handelsblatt Centillion, Medientage München, World AI Conference Shanghai and C2 Montréal, among others. At the same time, I taught creativity, idea and AI at over 40 universities and Goethe Institutes worldwide – from Melbourne to Ludwigsburg to Dhaka.
More information on www.promptwhispering.ai.
Between 2004 and 2019 , I have lectured internationally at universities and art academies, such as Centre for Ideas – Victorian College of the Arts / University Melbourne, Photography Studies College Melbourne, RMIT University Melbourne and Monash University Melbourne, NTU Singapore, Pathshala South Asian Media Institute Dhaka, Akademie für Bildende Künste Mainz, Hochschule Furtwangen and Escola d’Art i Superior de Disseny Olot.
In addition I have taught workshops at institutions, such as Goethe Institut Gulf Region, Shaikh Ebrahim Center Bahrain, PhotoWerkBerlin, Westlicht Wien, New Media Scotland Edinburgh, Singapore International Photography Festival, Fotografie Forum Frankfurt, Australian Centre for Photography Sydney and Centre for Contemporary Photography Melbourne.
