Incheon Art Platform is presenting the
special exhibition 《Interrogative AI》, which poses artistic questions about artificial intelligence (AI),
through February 1. Supported by the Institut Français, the exhibition is an
international media show featuring nine artist teams from four countries—Korea,
France, Taiwan, and Singapore.
The exhibition artistically explores how
artificial intelligence, which has permeated everyday life in the era following
the internet and smartphones, is reshaping human perception and ways of living.

As AI reshapes not only industry but
society at large—often described as “the most significant human event since the
Industrial Revolution”—it has also become a focal point of debate in the art
world, raising questions around authorship, creative agency, copyright, and the
boundaries between original and copy.
Against this backdrop, the exhibition
revisits the fundamental questions posed by technological advancement through
the language of art.
Rather than simply presenting works that
use AI technology or showcasing the visual spectacle or strangeness of
AI-generated images, it treats as objects of inquiry the ethical issues of the
AI era, relationships between human and nonhuman agents, the climate crisis and
colonial histories, the scope of creative agency, and the complex entanglements
between art and technological progress.

《Interrogative AI》
demonstrates how artists living in the age of AI reflect on the social,
ethical, and historical issues concealed behind the sheen of technological
sophistication. Unlike AI, which merely responds to commands and neither asks
questions nor creates of its own accord, humans possess curiosity, the capacity
for doubt, and the power of imagination. The exhibition thus paradoxically
underscores humanity’s ability to confront social issues and its will to bring
about change.
