PHI Studio is proud to have contributed to the creation of this exhibition, which immerses visitors in the fluidity, richness, and complexity of our desires in the age of algorithms. Guided by Max, a conversational artificial intelligence agent, the experience takes visitors on an extraordinary immersive journey that explores the forces shaping the new backdrop of our intimate lives.

About the experience

Featuring seven multisensory works incorporating artificial intelligence, extended reality, and interactive projections, the exhibition invites you to explore the connections between sexuality and technology in an hour-long journey.

PHI Studio Projet SDD Experience Algomatch

ALGO MATCH

In this multiplayer video game, the audience is invited to embody a character on a quest for relationships and intimacy, helping them navigate through potential matches on a dating application. The game delves into the realm of online dating and encourages players to explore the biases that these platforms create in users’ behaviour and seduction tactics.

PHI Studio Projet SDD Experience Results

RESULTS

This immersive work questions what AI can understand about human desire when trained by millions of pornographic videos, generally aimed at the same dominant gaze. Are our desires innate? Are they learned? Results offers a peculiar yet familiar look at a machine that fabricates our fantasies.

PHI Studio Projet SDD Experience Hello

HELLO

The artwork invites the audience to meet Nana001 through the dating application Hello. Inspired by the artist's personal experience, the work explores the perceptions, anticipation, distance and tension that online dating platforms create and thus materialize in the interactions of its users.

PHI Studio Projet SDD Experience Confessional

CONFESSIONNAL

A safe and anonymous environment for the audience to openly share their experiences, fostering secular education through personal stories. Participate in complete confidentiality and with respect and kindness, to share their stories and attentively listen to others, celebrating the singularity and diversity of human sexual and emotional experiences influenced by digital technology.

PHI Studio Projet SDD Experience Vibrato

VIBRATO

An interactive work that situates the exploration of desire within physical, sensory and emotional corporeality. The work's structure, at once non-human yet strangely familiar, allows the audience to experiment with various forms of pleasure and connection while reflecting on the codes of consent.

PHI Studio Projet SDD Experience Show Me Yours

SHOW ME YOURS

Show Me Yours invites us to re-evaluate the hierarchical relationship that places offline physical encounters as superior to virtual ones and explores the hidden face of staged sexuality through video work. The experience thus comes to life in a room where two realities meet: the performative stage of sex workers and their intimate living space.

PHI Studio Projet SDD Experience Queeringthe Map

QUEERING THE MAP

Queering the Map is an adaptation of the original queeringthemap.com platform, a community-generated web counter-map that digitally archives queer experiences in relation to physical space. In this adaptation, the work challenges audiences to shatter traditional colonial cartography and lose their bearings in an ode to fluidity, chaos and dissociation.
