Orient w chmurze. Sztuka jako afektywne narzędzie dekolonizacji algorytmu
Orient in the Cloud: Art as an Affective Instrument of Algorithmic Decolonization

Summary/Abstract: This article investigates the phenomenon of algorithmic neoorientalism as an automated, unconscious reproduction of orientalist visual tropes within generative AI systems. It argues that AI-generated images no longer function as representations but as operational data structures, shaped by culturally encoded dataset and prompt-driven models. The author introduces the concept of affectivity as an artistic strategy of disrupting algorithmic standarization and reasserting marginalized visualities. Works by Trevor Pagle, Zach Blas, Hito Steyerl are examined to show how AIbased art can subvert and reveal latent epistemic violence. The article proposes a reconfiguration of visual culture studies, grounded in postcolonial and infrastructural critique, where the image becomes a site of algorithmic power and counter-visuality.
