AI Museum is a speculative series by Marcel Robert that questions the residual place of human artists in a world saturated with productions generated by artificial intelligence. In a vast, perfectly calibrated white museum space, artists’ bodies are hung on the wall like works of art. With their feet in the air, they themselves become exhibition objects.
The project is part of a reflection on the future of creation in the algorithmic age. In a context where works are mass-produced by generative models, where creativity is simulated, predicted and modulated by statistical logic, the human artist is no longer an actor, but the subject of conservation. The museum becomes a paradoxical place of frozen homage: we celebrate what we no longer need.
The public, made up of anonymous silhouettes, oscillates between admiration and indifference. Some stop, as if in front of a Renaissance Madonna. Others pass by without a glance, caught up in the fluid flow of the gallery, a reflection of a world that has perhaps ceased to see.
By showcasing these artists hanging on the walls, AI Museum is proposing an inverted archaeology of the present: what if we were already in the aftermath? What if the artist’s exhibition was the sign of his or her disappearance?
