Curitiba Biennial Returns and Reflects the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence

The Curitiba Biennial, a significant visual arts event in Brazil, is set to return this June after a five-year hiatus, focusing on the influence of artificial intelligence in the post-pandemic world.

The Curitiba Biennial, a prominent event in Brazil's visual arts calendar, is re-emerging this year after five years without a physical exhibition, having only held an online event in 2021. Scheduled to commence in June, the exhibition, titled "Limiares," will explore themes surrounding existence in a new plane and the reflections of artificial intelligence permeating society in a post-pandemic era marked by global conflicts. Organized by Argentine curator Adriana Almada and Brazilian Tereza de Arruda, the Biennial will feature works from various artists across multiple venues in Curitiba, including the iconic Oscar Niemeyer Museum, which boasts an eye-catching design reminiscent of an open eye gazing over the city. The curators aim to showcase artistic discussions about the human experience and the boundaries of resistance in the face of advancing technology, particularly the increasingly blurred lines between the natural and artificial, as well as the biological and synthetic. Although the theme of artificial intelligence is not entirely new, it remains an endlessly relevant topic in contemporary discourse. Events like the Mercosur Biennial in Porto Alegre have also recently grappled with similar issues. As the Curitiba Biennial approaches, it promises to foster significant discussions about the evolving relationship between humanity and technology, highlighting both the anxieties and potential surrounding the rise of AI in our daily lives.
