AIscendences - Resizing reality dialogues and interactions between Art and generative Artificial Intelligence Art and nature are intimately connected in this project, which offers a reparative, poetic, and confident perspective on a world in flux. Our compositions explore the link between the real and the imaginary, between tools and machines, and between human and generative creativity. This duo project’s originality lies in the collaboration and cross-experiences that shape the direction of our respective research, stemming from our perspectives as artists. They question meaning, illusion, and reality to open creative fields, discover the plastic possibilities of materials, provoke discussions, and create new associations. The guiding thread evokes change and nature’s adaptability through the elements, referencing alchemy and its ability to give rise to new forms. The climate crisis, monumentality, relational utopia, and the environment are themes that hover over the giant installation generated by AI. In our works, composed of salt sculptures or blown glass, they resemble geological remains or precious stones. The original craftsmanship of the artist is paramount but is open and enriched by the infinite possibilities of generative creation, like ephemeral jewels transforming into magical mountains. Lived or fairy-tale landscapes testify to the evolution of art and the openness to mastering AI tools to generate new content. An open reflection on art, craftsmanship, and heritage in connection with technical or technological skills are fundamental questions raised by the conception of the work we propose. Thematic description of the work: In the form of a poetic object that has become a large necklace, the light, translucent piece resembles a lifebuoy in its size. By combining two highly symbolic concepts, the work oscillates between power and fragility. It evokes a precious jewel that allows light to filter through, solid yet airy, echoing the monumental installation in a fusion of mediums. It's made up of large crystalline spheres that fluctuate, suspended under a night canopy. The mobile work evolves in an imaginary space, seeming to beat in a kind of celestial pulsation, a pendulum movement suggested by weightlessness, in a giant frame like an aerial cathedral, touched by diffuse light that renders it unreal. As if on a podium alien to terrestrial gravity, circular links unrolled in free orbit offer a vision that evokes the grandeur of the universe and the elusiveness of the air. Silvana Solivella AI Christian Moreillon
