Associate Professor, Informatics: Multimedia Applications for the Arts

Amalia Foka is an Associate Professor at the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications, University of the Peloponnese. Her work connects artificial intelligence, computer vision and robotics with digital art history, computational creativity, and computational and media art.
My research examines machine learning systems as both technical methods and cultural technologies. I work across artificial intelligence, computer vision, generative AI, digital art history, computational creativity, cultural data analysis, robotics and autonomous systems, with a particular interest in how algorithms produce, classify, interpret and transform visual culture.
Recent work focuses on critical approaches to text-to-image models, visual bias, generative landscapes, affective image generation, social-media-based artworld networks and multimodal visual reasoning. The same trajectory informs my artistic practice, where computational methods are used as material for media art, experimental moving image, network-based work and AI-assisted visual inquiry.
