AI as Memory Keeper: Artists Explore Digital Archives and Dreaming Machines

An article featured in Artribune delves into the ways contemporary artists are reshaping the concept of memory through the use of artificial intelligence. Giuliana Cunéaz (born 1960, Aosta) introduces 'Qui ma non ora' (2024), inviting attendees to write phrases that AI then converts into dreams. She is also working on a project that catalogs figures who have passed away as a means of exorcism. Amy Karle (born 1979, US) designed 'Regenerative Reliquary' (2016), an AI-generated bone structure that contains human stem cells, and has sent a capsule to the Moon carrying humanity's archive. Agoria (Sébastien Devaud, born 1976, Lyon) presented 'Sigma Lumina' at Musée d'Orsay, enabling generative art through mobile devices. The exhibition 'SublimAzionI' includes works like 'Noesis' and 'Brainstorming,' with contributions from artists such as Refik Anadol, Sofia Crespo, and Alessandro Giannì. AI poses challenges to the notion of objective memory.
