In the age of Web 3.0, generative artificial intelligence, and big data analytics algorithms, our digital spaces are becoming increasingly blurred and fragmented. All these “black box” technologies distance us from their emancipatory potential, and the instantaneous and multiple production of new representations constantly alters the ways in which we access reality. Furthermore, the media and social networks continue to operate within a spectacular dimension, an artifice that our society has already elevated for decades, and which Guy Debord highlighted in La Société du Spectacle in 1967. While we fetishized merchandise back then, fetishism now lies elsewhere. Indeed, we now find ourselves in a society of exhibition (Harcourt, 2020), where we offer up our images and where our representations are skewed by the commodification of our online lives. A new regime of digital truth is taking hold, a post-truth, where everyone creates their own, and where reality becomes a point of view, a belief.

Supervisions seeks to lift the veil on our own biases and the machine-like visions that surround us daily. Through photographic prints and video installations, the exhibition weaves together testimonies about our online lives, challenges the power of algorithms and the media, and attempts to highlight the fragility of our connections to reality.
