Irreverencias: A Provocation to Artificial Intelligence

Irreverencias. Una provocación a la inteligencia artificial

Jazmín Adler (curator); Mateo Amaral; Valentina Cardellino; Florencia Levy; Fernando Foglino; Paola Monzillo

Introduction

At EAC in Montevideo, five artists juxtaposed AI interaction, CGI and archival installations to examine errors, power and representation. Their production methods are distinguished rather than labelling the whole exhibition AI-generated.

Why this entry remains in the timeline

Brings generative systems and regional histories of representation into a shared curatorial frame while preserving distinctions between media.

Archive editorial judgment based on the cited sources; this does not establish global priority.

Distinguishing methods

MACMO dates the exhibition to 2 April–22 June 2025. Its catalogue distinguishes Amaral’s simulated neural-network conversations, Monzillo’s vocabulary exchanges with AI, and Levy’s multiscreen CGI, motion capture and recorded voices. Participation does not imply use of a shared technology.

Section sources: MACMO exhibition and work catalogue

Regional images and national narratives

Foglino examines national representation through a wooden horse, prisoners’ photographs, painted figures and older films. Código rural juxtaposes police portraits with Blanes’s gauchos; the paired Gurí screens compare differently cast versions of a film. An analogy with face swapping does not establish generative processing.

Provocation as a curatorial method

Adler frames deliberate errors, concealed production and reworked vocabularies as challenges to technological conventions. Editorial interpretation: the exhibition connects critical AI practice with regional visual memory rather than demonstrating one model’s capabilities. Its curatorial argument is an object of research, not proof of system transparency or social impact.

Media, archival images and the 2025 EAC exhibition record; films not viewed.

Live interactions and complete films were not experienced; model versions, data permissions and effectiveness were not audited. Dates and media rely on institutional and author records. The relation to Desvíos is unresolved, so projects are not merged. The artist page’s 1886/1986 discrepancy for Frac remains pending. The photograph shows visible display, not algorithmic operation. The account and translation are AI-assisted, pending independent human review. Section references identify evidence without claiming independent verification of every historical statement.
