Cyberdelia

Cyberdelia was conceived during an artist residency at the Sporobole center to explore the creative potential of artificial intelligence. The installation consists of 22 videos accompanied by soundscapes co-composed with AI by Roger Tellier-Craig, as well as 22 cards inspired by the major arcana of the tarot. Visitors are invited to consult the oracle by selecting a card and placing it on a reader, triggering the projection of the corresponding video. This interaction offers a new perspective on the posed question, blending chance and intention in a dialogue with the unknown.

The project examines our relationship with AI and its ability to reflect human psychological projections. Its title evokes a mental landscape shaped by the interaction between humans and machines while paying homage to the cyberculture of the 1980s-1990s, a period when technology was envisioned as a means to transcend space, time, and materiality. By integrating the unpredictable transformations generated by AI while preserving the artist’s aesthetic, the work reveals visions that are both sublime and unsettling, reflecting an Anthropocene-marked future. Cyberdelia seeks to re-enchant reality by weaving connections between technology and nature, individual destiny and collective experience.

Her work has been exhibited in institutions such as Laforet Museum in Tokyo, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Centre Pompidou in Paris, the PHI Center in Montreal, the Max Ernst Museum in Brühl, and the Museum of the Moving Image in New York.
