SYNTHETIC NATURES—ENTANGLED WORLDS: THE CURRENT STATE OF AI AND LIFE

The Lisbon-based artist Sofia Crespo and the artistic duo Entangled Others work at the critical juncture where global art and technology converge. “Synthetic Natures” brings the artists together in Tokyo to present a cutting-edge exhibition that combines AI art and ecology. The exhibition will feature four series of works spanning from video installations to sculptures and other mediums: liquid strata: argomorphs, which explores the world more than 2,000 meters below the ocean surface; specious upwellings, which connects the global phenomenon of oceanic upwelling with the visual language of AI; temporally uncaptured, inspired by the histories of botany and photography; and self-contained, which overlays the structures of genetic information and digital data. Interpreting the world through fragments and hypotheses, these works express a vision that emerges at the crossroads of poetic imagination and scientific inquiry. Images generated by AI are not substitutes for nature. Rather they reflect deep-seated human desires for how we wish to see nature. As these images entwine, resonate, and evolve, they quietly shift our perceptions of the real world.

Curator-led gallery talks will be held at 3pm on Friday, November 8, and Saturday, November 8. Admission is free, no reservation required.
