To mark Albertine Meunier's entry into the Centre Pompidou's New Media collection with My Google Search History, Avant Galerie presents the exhibition at the Institut Français in Madrid from June 12 to July 18, 2024.

Albertine Meunier likes to explore the capabilities and limits of consumer digital tools. Her current hobby is the generation of “artificial” images. Artificial intelligence now makes it easy to create images. Sometimes perceived as a danger, artificial intelligence is an opportunity to explore new possibilities. The artist likes to play with these new tools for generating artificial images.
With the Hyperchips series, she creates a collection of women eating French fries and sausages, seeking to produce imperfect images, with defects produced by the A.I. in the hands, face or even in elements of the decor. The A.I. appears fragile and human, full of flaws.
With the En Maillot de bain series, Albertine Meunier plays on the modesty of A.I., where all allusions to the body are either forbidden or “blurred”.
Other works, such as My Google Search History, One cow and I.A Patatras, show that from data to artificial intelligence, digital artists reveal, play with and detect digital functions, rarely without consequence in our lives.
With her air of not touching, Albertine Meunier unwinds the thread of playful, impertinent and funny poetry. She's Datadada, there's no doubt about it!
