The Art Room #11 by CURA. for Soho House Rome presents Eva and Franco Mattes in conversation with Luca Lo Pinto.

The talk focuses on the life of images after intention: meme economies, anonymous production, and the training logic of AI systems — including a “Cursed Cat” model, a case study in how machine learning feeds on collective desire, low-resolution folklore, and the soft violence of cuteness. From early net interventions to this AI model, their practice insists on letting the image go feral.
