Potential Histories, Parallel Universes<\/strong><\/em> explores how artificial intelligence and synthetic imagery are transforming the perception of reality and questioning photographic authenticity. The exhibition confronts analog photography with a new visual paradigm that challenges its limits and potential, proposing a dialogue between traditional photographic creation and new images generated by algorithms.<\/p>\n

Just as photography allowed 19th-century painters to explore new paths such as Impressionism or Cubism, today\u2019s photographers face a similar challenge: reinventing their medium in a world where synthetic imagery rewrites the rules.<\/p>\n

The goal is not to replace the authenticity of analog photography but to open a space for reflection on how these new tools can integrate or challenge the current visual discourse. Ultimately, the exhibition invites viewers to reconsider what it means to \u201csee\u201d in the 21st century and how photography, in all its forms, remains essential to capture, debate, and redefine reality.<\/p>\n

All of these images are synthetic, not photographs, generated by artificial intelligence systems in response to text prompts by Fred Ritchin. They have been transformed, and the result is a C-type Lambda photographic print.<\/p>\n

All of these images are included in his book The Synthetic Eye <\/b>Photography Transformed in the Age of AI<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
