Marc Mateos Monteagudo Examines AI and Memory in 'The flowers are burning'
The Sala de Máquinas at Centro Párraga in Murcia presents 'The flowers are burning', an exhibition by artist Marc Mateos Monteagudo, curated by Rodrigo Carreño Río. The show explores the transformation of images in the age of artificial intelligence, drawing on the concept of 'nemotype'—a term coined by Joan Fontcuberta for algorithm-generated images. Works evoke family albums and memories that never occurred, paired with a sculptural installation of dried flowers, leaves, and bouquets cast in aluminum. The exhibition runs until July 30, 2026.
