Artist and researcher Boris Eldagsen explores the intersection of artificial intelligence and artistic creation in this dual-site exhibition. By invoking Jacques Derrida's concept of 'hauntology,' the project examines how AI generates imagery and questions the nature of creativity in an era where the past and future blur.
In 'Hauntology for Beginners,' Boris Eldagsen occupies two distinct Strasbourg venues, La Chambre and La Cryogénie, to present a comprehensive investigation into AI-generated art. The exhibition is structured in two chapters: 'Something is missing and you know it' at La Chambre, and 'The requested sensation is not available' at La Cryogénie. Through these site-specific installations, Eldagsen challenges the viewer to contemplate the loss of materiality in photography and the shift toward algorithmic creation. The exhibition also includes a public installation on the façade of the Atrium at the University of Strasbourg. The project draws its title from Jacques Derrida’s philosophical concept of 'hauntology,' which describes how elements of the past or unrealized futures continue to persist in the present. Eldagsen uses this framework to bridge the gap between traditional artistic practices and the rapidly evolving capabilities of artificial intelligence. By integrating AI-generated sound, video, and stills, the artist invites a broader public discourse on the role of the creator in a digital age, further building upon his previous high-profile investigations into the boundaries of AI in photographic competitions.
The exhibition is open to the public at both La Chambre and La Cryogénie. Various free guided visits and public talks are organized throughout the duration of the exhibition, with specific workshops for young audiences available by registration via the official website guide for visitors. Please check the official La Chambre website for exact visiting hours and any necessary registration details for special events or workshops.
