Exhibited Work: CAS, CAS II
Duration: 11 April–21 September 2025
Event type: Group Show
General Curator: Antonio Somaini.
Associate curators: Ada Ackerman, Alexandre Gefen, Pia Viewing.
Organizer: Jeu De Paume
Venue: Jeu De Paume, Paris, FRA
In immense mathematical matrix latent spaces, artificial neural networks understand the world as a code and begin to learn by themselves to produce images and sounds, to write, to translate, and to speak. "The World According to AI," deployed across all spaces of the Jeu de Paume, explores how contemporary artists have been engaging with these artificial intelligences over the last decade in both critical and experimental ways. From "Analytical AI" to "Generative AI," the exhibition questions these new tools that allow for the rethinking and renewal of creative processes while shedding light on how machines perceive and inhabit the world. The exhibition showcases works—some of them unprecedented—from artists in the French and international scenes who have approached new AI technologies from various perspectives, including Kate Crawford & Vladan Joler, Fabien Giraud, Agnieszka Kurant, Christian Marclay, Trevor Paglen, and Hito Steyerl. "Time capsules" offer visitors genealogical, anachronistic, and archaeological incursions into the distant cultural and scientific origins of AI.

Initiated in 2017, ongoing.
Marble, polyamide, machine learning algorithms, custom software, original dataset, multichannel video installation.
A critical and technical exploration of the capacities of AI models to reconstruct missing fragments of objects from classical antiquity and generate synthetic historical documents carved in stone. This work questions the epistemological qualities of AI-accelerated historiography, akin to 'reverse archaeology'.

5-channel video installation; HD film; website: thenewcolor.net; book, edition of 50.
An online mystification concerning a parascientific breakthrough discovery of a never-before-seen colour. The digital myth took the form of a fictitious company's website, video adverts & mockumentary interviews to become a viral sensation attracting mass attention online.
