RATTÉ + TELLIER-CRAIG | CHANTIER IA

AS PART OF THE CHANTIER IA, SPOROBOLE WELCOMES SABRINA RATTÉ AND ROGER TELLIER-CRAIG FOR A RESEARCH AND CREATIVE RESIDENCY ON THE TOOLS AND CHALLENGES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

This long-term residency will last seven weeks.

 

In the context of this residency, the duo formed by Sabrina Ratté and Roger Tellier-Craig will engage in a visual and sonic dialogue with various artificial intelligence algorithms. This exchange with an ever-evolving otherness will give rise to a work whose definitive form will emerge from the encounter between predetermined initial conditions and unpredictable interpretations. The project will explore notions of hauntology (traces of the past that permeate the present and future), the materialization of psychological projections and the mediated relationship we have with reality.

By combining various techniques such as computer-generated imagery, sound and artificial intelligence, assemblages of artifacts will be created, conglomerates of future vestiges of a fabricated consumer society. These sculptures will evolve within the ruins of familiar places associated with nostalgia, fusions of shopping malls, cinemas and amusement parks.

Notions of the unconscious, nostalgia, anxieties or hopes will emerge from the encounter between familiar places, delirious forms, and the unknown embodied by artificial intelligence. In response to these projections, the latter will generate visual and aural symbols that reflect a changing future both sublime and terrifying. Like an oracle, it will draw from the collective unconscious to inform us about a genesis of what is emerging.
