Description

Dedicated to Julien Prévieux, a major figure on the contemporary art scene, the exhibition highlights the issues, flaws and absurdities of a world controlled by "intelligent" machines. Videos - Sculptures - Drawings - Installations.
The exhibition Des raisonnements déraisonnables examines language systems as structures of power and regulation of human behavior. Julien Prévieux explores this question through two fields of application: spatial activities on the one hand, and artificial intelligence on the other. The exhibition features a selection of the artist's seminal works, as well as a series of new creations produced specifically for the show. The latter, focusing on the dysfunctions and invisible processes of artificial intelligences, take a particular interest in the hallucinations produced by AIs. What all the works have in common is a questioning of machine control, its possible flaws and the absurdity engendered by this profusion of digital languages. # Julien Prévieux A key figure on the contemporary art scene (winner of the 2014 Prix Marcel Duchamp), Julien Prévieux's multidisciplinary practice is driven by a playful vision of social criticism. His work is regularly exhibited in art centers and museums in France and abroad, and features prominently in public and private collections. A keen observer of the contemporary world and our behaviors, the artist is particularly interested in the impact of technological revolutions on our societies and their hold on individual and collective bodies. His practice combines the visual arts, performance art, computer science, artificial intelligence and choreography. Free admission, no reservation required. Guided tours on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 4.30pm. # Around the exhibition EXHIBITION OPENING Friday April 17, 6:30 pm to 8 pm In the presence of the artist Free admission, no reservation WORKSHOPS FOR YOUNG AUDIENCES - LE COIN DES MINOTS Podcast creation workshop on artificial intelligence or space law April 21 and 22, 10am - 5pm MUSEUM NIGHT Saturday, May 23 until 9pm * Escape Game "The Price of Salt You've been falsely accused of stealing salt and imprisoned.
