Beyond 2001: Odysseys of Intelligence – An Exhibition on AI, Humanity, and Technology

This exhibition uses Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey' as a framework to explore the evolution of human intelligence and the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It examines AI's origins, present applications, and future possibilities, connecting art, science, and technology.

Taking Stanley Kubrick's seminal film '2001: A Space Odyssey' as a conceptual anchor, 'Beyond 2001: Odysseys of Intelligence' guides visitors through the historical development, current landscape, and future trajectories of human and artificial intelligence. The exhibition critically examines our most ambitious technological project, AI, by framing its evolution through the lens of Kubrick's cinematic exploration of intelligence. The exhibition is thoughtfully structured into three interconnected themes: 'The awakening of intelligence,' 'In the AI universe,' and 'The future of intelligences, and beyond infinity.' It draws parallels with scenes from '2001,' incorporating supporting documents and original scripts, alongside a curated selection of artworks and significant pieces that illuminate the complex relationship between humans and 'thinking' machines. Key pieces include original drawings by Santiago Ramón y Cajal, 'The Chess Player' by Leonardo Torres Quevedo, and interactive installations that explore AI's creative and analytical capabilities, such as 'The Next Rembrandt' and sketching robots by Patrick Tresset. The exhibition ultimately prompts reflection on the nature of intelligence, machine autonomy, and the potential impact of AI on society, curated by media art specialist Claudia Giannetti.
