"This exhibition celebrates the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital manipulation tools in photography. These new technologies provide photographers with unprecedented control over the creation and manipulation of images, blurring the boundaries between the real and the imaginary. The participating artists have taken diverse approaches, using AI to generate entirely new images or utilizing digital manipulation tools, such as Photoshop, to manipulate reality and construct entirely new digital worlds, creating surreal compositions. While some argue that these tools undermine the authenticity of photography, others see them as a way to expand the creative possibilities of the medium. As these technologies become more accessible, they are likely to shape the future of image making in photography."

One of the fundamental pillars of the Lumínic platform is its Educational Plan, the objective of which is to generate spaces for experimentation, knowledge and reflection around the photographic fact. For this reason, Lumínic is currently collaborating with various educational centres by holding workshops and calls for exhibitions of artistic work. In 2021, Lumínic began collaborating with INS Leonardo to carry out an annual cycle of workshops for 3rd ESO students. In these two editions, students have had the opportunity to take photographs with digital cameras, photo selection and editing sessions, as well as exhibition design. The guiding thread of this year's workshops has been experimentation with the image in search of documenting and portraying what we can find around us, whether in the classroom or the urban environment. This exhibition shows the results of the creation of the students throughout the entire school year 2022 - 2023.
