On November 30, 2022, the release of GPT-3.5 brought an already unfolding shift into public view. Within months, artificial intelligence (AI)—and conversational agents in particular—became widely accessible. Highly versatile, these systems simulate language and can generate text, translate, answer questions, and sometimes produce convincing errors known as “hallucinations.” Gradually, these tools are influencing the way we write, search for information, and learn.
Today, these models are being integrated into everyday objects and services. A new phase is emerging: one in which interfaces become conversational and certain objects seem to “speak” to us. It suggests a different way of inhabiting the world—one that opens up as many questions as possibilities.
In this exhibition, you will encounter many different languages. Some are languages we have created, from computer code to esoteric programming languages designed to play with conventions, as well as the different methods used to train AI systems to produce language. Others belong to the living world, such as birdsong and the dances of bees, which science and technology seek to understand by modelling their signals. And still others are created collectively: forms of expression born online—memes, emojis, Italian brainrot, and other elements of an ever-evolving visual culture.
Educational and interactive, this exhibition sets the tone for the season. A dedicated trail has been designed for children and families, offering simple ways to explore while having fun. The exhibition is free and open to everyone—an invitation to listen differently to the world around us.
