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).
