YARAT Contemporary Art Space has opened a solo exhibition
project by Maxim Tatarintsev.
"MONO" – derived from the ancient Greek word "μόνος" (mónos,
translates to "alone, solitary, or lonely"), Azernews reports.
The exhibition“MONO” talks about a man alienated in the absurd,
making sense of a rapidly changing reality as a mirror to his
time.
Obviously, the instability of human experience has become more
common. Today's increasing geopolitical conflicts and immigrations,
as well as natural disasters, have deeply affected people's lives
on a personal level. At the same time, the rapid development of
artificial intelligence technologies is progressing in parallel
with these events. This exhibition incorporates the author's
reflections brought by the sense of meaninglessness and absurdity
of the post-immigration period, reflecting the artist's subjective
reality by means of artificial intelligence. While the exhibition
is a completely personal monologue of the artist, throughout the
exposition, there is a constant dialogue with artificial
intelligence. In this dialectic, artificial intelligence plays the
role of a guide, serving as a kind of solution provider,
accompanying the author in their search for meaning and raising
questions within the absurd. Artificial intelligence dictates the
author through all of their steps. Despite the often-irrational
nature of these instructions, the fact that the author follows them
points to how external forces and circumstances affects their
perception and life, even to the extent of control. In the
exhibition, the artist proposes a critical question: should one
surrender to events beyond their control or resist against
them?
By establishing a mutual relationship with artificial
intelligence, Tatarintsev examines the possibilities and
limitations of the interaction and explores the potential
consequences of AI's rapid development. Thus, the exhibition raises
questions related to ethics and responsibility and emphasizing how
it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish reality from
surreal, original from counterfeit. Note that the exhibition is
curated by Zahra Mammadova.
