Her work, both as an artist and a writer, has consistently challenged the political boundaries between art and technol­ogy. In this new collection of groundbreaking essays, she explores how AI, the use of large language models and the algorithmic creation of imagery transform our understanding of the world. She argues that such practices cannot be divorced from the economic and political conditions of the times. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMedium Hot \u003c\/i\u003eis a collection of scintillating meditations on the limits of art and technol­ogy: the essential handbook for the present conjuncture.

She argues against the production of images that heat up the planet, disfranchise workers and fuel the arms trade, and questions whether such creations can even be called art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn an era of such rapid change, Steyerl does vital work investigating whether machine learning will infiltrate every aspect of our lives and what that means for the future.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHITO STEYERL\u003c\/b\u003e is one of today's leading video artists.
