Trevor Paglen, artist-activist and author exploring surveillance and computer vision. He discusses how computer vision and generative AI are reshaping what images mean. He explains machine-only images, numeric faces, and how visual tech expands surveillance and capitalism. He connects photoreal synthesis to threats to shared facts and compares AI practices to modern ritualistic techniques.

Trevor Paglen, artist-researcher who maps surveillance, military secrecy and image politics, guides a tour through psyops history. He traces MKUltra and UFO disinformation, links stage magic to modern manipulative media, and warns how neuroscience, brain interfaces and AI can turn images into tools of control. Short, sharp scenes on prediction, adversarial attacks and why truth gets destabilized.

Trevor Paglen, artist and geographer who maps surveillance and hidden power, joins to trace psyops capitalism, MKUltra's mind‑control experiments, and how magicians shaped covert perception work.

Trevor Paglen, visual artist and researcher on surveillance, AI, and covert programs, joins to unpack psyops, UFO lore, and the religious language around artificial intelligence. He and the host trace magicians, misdirection, and intelligence tradecraft back to cognitive science roots. Conversation touches on MKUltra-era experiments and how images shape belief.

Trevor Paglen, an artist-researcher probing surveillance, machine vision, and tech politics. He explores how computer vision and generative AI are transforming images into triggers for systems. He examines the erosion of photographic trust, the rise of psyops and attention-driven capitalism, and presents Voyager, a hypnosis-based artwork that alters perception.
