How do we navigate the intricate dance between human agency and artificial intelligence?

This exhibition stands as a profound exploration of the emotional and cognitive landscapes reshaped by AI, prompting a critical speculation of our future.

In an era marked by rapid technological evolution, the interplay between human cognition and artificial intelligence (AI) invites both fascination and trepidation. The exhibition The Unexpected. Enquiries on Human-AI Interactions explores these dynamics and serves as the culminating event of the PEEK project with the same title. This exhibition features the works of project leader Pamela Breda and the project collaborators Patrícia J. Reis and Ruth Schnell – artists whose pursuit traverse complex landscapes of emotional, cognitive and exploitative responses to AI.

The Unexpected invites you to a deeper contemplation of the philosophical, ethical and societal ramifications of AI. The shown artworks tell us about the labyrinth of human-AI relations with a critical and reflective lens and also address broader themes of human behavior – like the fear of change, and the relentless drive of capitalism that propels technological advancement, underscoring the duality of AI as both a marvel of human ingenuity and a potential harbinger of unforeseen challenges.
