Exhibition: Artificial Lines of Flight

Artificial Lines of Flight drift where code dissolves into organism, where algorithmic absurdity stumbles into meaning, where machines whisper ruptures into dreams. The exhibition traces escapes—lines that fracture power, unsettle indifference, and open trembling thresholds of the not-yet. Here, difference becomes resistance, uncertainty a vector, absurdity a counter-force to its contemporary forms, and collaboration with machines a flight toward unpredictable becomings.

Artificial Lines of Flight takes inspiration from Deleuze & Guattari’s concept of ligne de fuite — a line of escape, of transformation, of rupture from systems of power, structure, and sense. In this context, the exhibition considers how AI and algorithmic creativity can enact such a line of flight: not only by generating uncanny, absurd, or surprising artefacts, but by unsettling the norms of authorship, aesthetics, and intention. This is not merely an exploration of machine creativity, but a call to consider what emerges when collaboration with machines embraces uncertainty as a condition for political potential. Through this pavilion we invite the audience to consider how embracing uncertainty and unpredictability in human-machine collaboration might open new spaces of resistance and transformation.
