One of the driving forces behind this exhibition – where photography, neuroscience, mathematics and artificial intelligence meet – is a hybrid approach, used to give cause for experimentation and to remind us, in passing, of photography’s privileged status in the history of science. Taking the notion of latent space as their starting point, the photographer Marina Gadonneix (a 2002 graduate of the ENSP photography school and the 2006 winner of the HSBC Prize for Photography and 2020 winner of the Niépce Prize) and the artificial intelligence scientist Victor Rambaud (a cognitive science researcher and École Polytechnique graduate) explore possible representations of the mind and open up stimulating reflections on the status of images.
