(Don’t) Fear the Machine at Espacio Marzana in Bilbao
Espacio Marzana presents (Don’t) Fear the Machine, a new exhibition by Martín López that steps outside the boundaries of his primary focus on documentary creation over the past decade. Hosted at the contemporary art gallery situated along the Bilbao Estuary, the showcase examines the rise, perception, and societal impact of artificial intelligence.
Exploring Contemporary Art and Artificial Intelligence in Bilbao
For this exhibition, López shifts away from conventional cinematic recording to examine a reality increasingly tied to automated actions and virtual information. Visitors to Espacio Marzana can view a limited series of digital prints alongside the projection of a one-hour miniature documentary.
The artistic approach relies on 3D computer-modeled virtual spaces—abstract reinterpretations of the real world—that evoke both the evolution of artificial intelligence and the social structures it transforms. Through a photographic series, the artist captures this intermediate realm between physical and virtual environments, offering a thoughtful perspective on emerging technologies. The accompanying video piece and its related transcripts further reflect contemporary viewpoints on artificial intelligence, addressing how modern society navigates future uncertainties.
