End of In-University residency exhibition
In collaboration with the University of Luxembourg
VENUE: Casino Display, 1, rue de la Loge, L-1945 Luxembourg
In September 2024, Max Kreis inaugurated the first residency collaboration between Casino Display and the University of Luxembourg. During his residency, he has been closely working with the Luxembourg Center for System Biomedicine (LCSB), blurring the boundaries between art and sciences. His research focuses more particularly on memory and its representation in the brain through methods of image decoding from brain stimuli and brain computer interfaces.
Following the lead of French scientists such as Hippolyte Baraduc and Louis Darget who attempted to photograph the flow of thoughts, Max Kreis reinvests this original project through the lens of contemporary technology. At the heart of his practice is an Artificial Intelligence Model, which he trained to create new visions and memories oscillating between the realm of human and machine imaginaries.
The exhibition presented at Casino Display follows a symposium that took place on 23 October 2024 and which explored the relationship between Artificial Intelligence and Art.
