This film and dating program designed by Alice Leroy, a film critic and visual studies researcher, explores the material and social dimensions of artificial intelligence, far from the current representations of commercial cinema that reduce it to a replica of the human brain or to an abstract and disembodied entity.
Through documentary, experimental and artistic films, this cycle deconstructs technophile myths and proposes other stories, questioning the character
« artificial » from l’IA and expanding our design of l’intelligence. Each session is introduced by an older film, offering a retrospective insight into contemporary issues.
