Katrina Sluis is Associate Professor and Head of Photography and Media Arts at The Australian National University, where she leads the Computational Culture Lab in the School of Art and Design. Prior to joining ANU, she was Senior Digital Curator at The Photographers’ Gallery London and founding co-director of the Centre for the Study of the Networked Image at London South Bank University (2012-2019). With a background in contemporary art and digital media, she has curated major public projects and published extensively on the ‘softwareisation’ of photography over the past two decades. Her research examines the growing influence of machine learning in art and visual culture, investigating how computational systems reshape creative labour, cultural institutions, and the circulation of images. In 2023, she launched Critical AI in the Art Museum, a project interrogating the power structures embedded in AI-driven cultural production. She is currently an ANU co-investigator on the CHCI Global Humanities Institute’s Design Justice AI project and the ANU Integrated AI Network. With Andrew Dewdney she is co-editor of The Networked Image in Post-Digital Culture (Routledge, 2022).
