\nInternational Digital\u00a0Miniprint\u00a0Exhibition 15
\nArtificial Intelligence<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/strong>
\nKaty Le Van, curator<\/span><\/strong>
\nBeginning of the virtual exhibition: November 7, 10 a.m., EST (UTC-5)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Curated by Katy Le Van, the exhibition featured works from Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, France, Greece, Hungary, India, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania and Ukraine which explore the topic of artificial intelligence (AI) from several angles.<\/p>\n

Looking at these works, we realize that AI allows artists to, among other things, rework their own works or to enrich them. With the help of computer codes, they can create new images, often at random, to the point of losing control of the creative process. In the artistic world, questions could arise, to know if artists must necessarily be the only masters of the result.<\/p>\n

In our daily lives, AI is also a worrying issue. Facial recognition seems to be becoming a huge asset for governments, while the majority of the population prefers to remain anonymous. In support of thought, we try to make a connection between our brains and the computer. Could a machine ever equal human beings? What world does AI destine us for? On the one hand, the future looks bright if AI can ensure our survival, but also dangerous if human development is not fostered.<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a>
\nDuring October 2020, visitors were invited to come and view Christopher Payne\u2019s installation Soft Light<\/em> at the Centre d\u2019artistes Voix Visuelle.<\/p>\n

For the artist, this is an exhibition that has turned into a residency and that has evolved due to the pandemic. The initial idea was to create a communal piece that several people could experience at the same time, but the work developed following the isolation and claustrophobia experienced by the artist. In the end, it was still an immersive work that appeals to the senses, to time and light, a \u201cspeculative romanticism.\u201d<\/p>\n

From July 11, 2020<\/span>
\nCurator: Margot Gronnier<\/span>
\nVoix Jeunes Talents | G\u00e9n\u00e9ration Visuelle (Visual Generation)<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Voix Visuelle once more held its Voix Jeunes Talents event, seventh edition. With the theme Digital Generation, the exhibition was virtual, for the first time broadcast entirely on social media. The launch took place on June 11 on Instagram, and allowed visitors to enjoy a unique experience.<\/a> All the works in the exhibition are available anytime and anywhere, offering unlimited sharing.<\/p>\n

It is undeniable that we live in an increasingly virtual and digital society, where new technologies are at the heart of our daily lives. This technological renewal is redefining our habits, thus disrupting our way of communicating or of having fun, but also transforming the world of the arts by making accessible to all a huge, inexhaustible range of creative possibilities.<\/p>\n

For a whole generation of young people born during this Information Technology revolution, the creation of visual content has become second nature. With the emergence of smartphones with visual applications like Instagram or Snapchat, photography has evolved, becoming an element of everyday life that young people can appropriate, and use to reinvent themselves, every day.<\/p>\n

These young artists, proponents of the new methods, will present diptychs, thus guiding us towards a more complex reading of the work. This exhibition will allow you to delve into the heart of their visions, their perceptions, their sensitivities. It can also make us reflect on the similarity, the difference, the evolution or even the duality that two images can maintain between them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The artist herself is at the center of the stage as a figure from mythology who travels through times, where objects and symbols belonging to other eras are overlapped to form a playful and enigmatic space. This solitary research work also enables the public to question its own origins and to ask the universal questions: who are we, and where are we from? <\/p>\n
