The artists who took part in the research residencies organized in Berlin within the framework of the project ARTISTIC RESIDENCY 110, 2025 edition, confronted these very questions. Cezar Mocan proposes impossible landscapes, where visual beauty is doubled by a sense of unease: what remains real in a world where the artificial produces more “nature” than nature itself? Nicoleta Mureș examines the digital filters that shape our everyday lives and transform identity into a negotiable, fragile product, endlessly filtered. Radu Carnariu and Mihai Grecu explore the theme of food, both as a resource in its traditional sense and as collective memory, questioning how the future of nourishment is dictated by technology and economics. David Lazăr reveals the blind mechanism of technology, which generates images regardless of the meaning—or meaninglessness—of the information it receives, thus challenging the illusion of algorithmic creativity.

Behind these discourses emerges a posthumanist perspective: humans are no longer the sole protagonists of the world but coexist with technologies, objects, and nature in a network of interdependencies. SCAI does not propose a naïve celebration of artificial intelligence but rather a critical reflection on how it rewrites the human condition—how it “attaches” itself to humanity in an almost imperceptible way, infiltrates our lives, and clings to us. If art once stood as a space of the unique and singular, now it unfolds within a field where images can be generated, identities can be simulated, and perceptions can be constructed.

SCAI does not offer comforting answers. Instead, it invites critical reflection on our own relationship with technology and an awareness of the fragility of the human position within an extended ecosystem that surpasses rural boundaries. An exhibition that demonstrates that art, even when carried by algorithms, remains a space of fertile unease and questioning.
