Witnessing War: Tom Lea in the Age of AI

🎓Tom Lea Fellow Julia Hettiger, a writer, educator, and rhetoric and composition Ph.D. student from El Paso, Texas, centers the spectator in analyzing Tom Lea's depictions of war. She will examine what is lost and what is promoted when the U.S. government uses AI for military recruitment.

🪖Tom Lea's work offers a window into the grim realities of war from an outside, neutral perspective, inviting audiences to witness them without direct wartime experience, something AI-generated graphics cannot replicate.
