Mapping AI: How to understand artificial intelligence on a global scale
Generative AI systems are at the heart of a profound transformation in the way we create, access and define knowledge. Massive data mining on the Internet, as well as in libraries and archives, raises pressing questions about who can build private AI models from public data.
Over the past fifteen years, the term “post-photography” has come to dominate the field of photographic creation. It refers to a radical evolution in our relationship with images, which the first and second digital turning points have only accentuated. But it seems to cover a wide range of realities: appropriationism, the multiplication of images on social networks or, more recently, augmented photography and the algorithmic image.

“Chère Melpomène,
We call to you, the ancient muse of tragedy, who once reigned at the back of the Palais des Beaux-Arts. Once a towering statue, several meters high, you have now become a ruin. From the residue of your dust, we seel to transcend the archetype of the muse and evoke a fresh, nuanced breath, able to seep into the interstices of established orders. In between inspiration and expiration, between what is spoken and what remains silent, this breath embodies our deepest desire for social justice.”
Chère Melpomène is a call to subvert classical myths in order to convey other stories that are closer to our daily lives. The exhibition invites us to listen, feel, and breathe together in a poetic exploration of what binds us.
Drawing inspiration from the methodology of artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha (1951–1982) in her work Dictée (1982) - where the nine muses of Greco-Roman antiquity are reimagined to honor female martyrs who sought emancipation - the exhibition sublimates reality by rerouting the figure of Melpomène. What relationships should we cultivate among the inhabitants of the earth - beyond species, and between animate and inanimate beings? Theresa Hak Kyung Cha invites us to prioritize our senses, intuition, and pay attention to our surroundings in order to reconnect with the multiple breaths of life and reignite our commoning energy.
The exhibition invites us to navigate our intimate tragedies and the stories we can tell about them. It offers an incantation to summon spiritual and political alliances, to infuse our struggles with magic, expand our imagination, and nurture hope. The pieces in this exhibition embody acts of resistance and solidarity, sharing speculative cosmogonies that translate the plurality of memories that shape our contemporary society and cultivate our interdependence while honoring our individual differences.
Chère Melpomène intertwines a hundred works from the collections, students and international artists, presenting a transhistorical display from the late 17th century to today. Most have never been exhibited—recently acquired by the School or newly created for the exhibition—while others have yet to circulate in institutional spaces.
