Omni Intelligent is a group exhibition that explores the intertwined and interdependent relationships between non-human and human entities as artificial intelligence becomes an integrated part of contemporary life. The artworks suggest a departure from anthropocentrism towards a more complex, fluid, and expansive understanding of intelligence, existence, consciousness, and the self. Spanning a wide range of mediums—including scent, painting, sculpture, film, holography, game design, and ceramics—the exhibition offers the visitor a full sensory experience that speaks to the profound shifts unfolding during this pivotal moment.
Participating artists: Eglė Budvytytė, Lou Cantor, Ánima Correa, CROSSLUCID, Star Feliz, Rhonda Holberton, Amia Yokoyama, agustine zegers, and Marcus Zúñiga. Curated by Ceci Moss, PhD.
