HSLIC is thrilled to be hosting the National Library of Medicine's traveling exhibit, Promising Future, Complex Past: Artificial Intelligence and the Legacy of Physiognomy, from March 3 - April 12, 2025.
This exhibit “presents the history of physiognomy— the practice of assessing one’s mental character based on physical attributes—and explores its influence on contemporary artificial intelligence and computer science technologies that gather and interpret body data.”
Please join us for our opening reception on March 6, 2025, 9am-11am on the third floor of HSLIC. This drop-in event - no registration or RSVP is required - will feature complimentary coffee and bagels, a pop-up display of historical and rare books on physiognomy, and chances to win exciting prizes.
HSLIC is also offering a special AI Crossroads session on March 25, 1pm-2pm via Zoom that will tie into the exhibit's themes.
The exhibits and programs are free and open to the public as well as the UNM and HSC communities.
