En d’infinies variations — Centre culturel canadien, Paris Foisonnante, généreuse et riche, l'exposition En d'infinies variations présentée au Centre culturel canadien joue de la répétition ... 2 - Bien Critique

The world accelerated as one industrial revolution after another produced societal and aesthetic changes. It was in the 19th century that the serial treatment of subjects became widespread in painting, as if to better grasp every aspect of them. In an age of unbridled use of artificial intelligence algorithms in industry and art alike, it is more appropriate to approach many works through their multiple versions. Increasingly, artists are literally collaborating with programs capable of generating their works in infinite variations. When the results are striking, it is up to them to interrupt the autonomous processes they had initiated. But what has been new in recent years is that we can all use such interfaces to, for example, refine our multiple online profiles. In this way, we have a certain closeness to the creations that come out of iterative or generative processes. This exhibition should be seen as a studio where the works are in the process of being made.
