When the Korean Cultural Centre and the Fiminco Foundation team up, it becomes an original and interactive exhibition that probes our relationship with Artificial Intelligence. The Korean artist Yiyun Kang, a renowned figure in South Korea's digital art scene, has conceived three immersive installations that put AI in front of us.
This exhibition, titled Illumination, is on view from April 24 to June 21, 2026. It unveils unusual works in which every visitor can question and confront their fears and hopes tied to new technologies, and above all to AI. Gradually, the artist invites us into a reflection that is both intimate and social, forging links between machines, humans, and the living.
The first installation is titled Great Anxiety. This work tackles the dangers of AI and the fears surrounding this new technology: job loss, the spread of misinformation, fake images, the erosion of autonomy... The artist aims to surface these feelings of fear and anxiety while weaving in elements of beauty and fascination to symbolize the contradictory emotions the public may feel.
In Echo Chamber, visitors enjoy chatting with a chatbot that nudges them into two stark, opposing narratives: one relentlessly upbeat and optimistic, the other utterly fatalistic. Nuance is off the menu, and escaping these binary takes is nearly impossible—unless someone can break free from these prepackaged extremes to form a more subtle, independent view of the algorithms at play.
The latest installation by Yiyun Kang invites us to elevate our thinking, linking the digital with the living, the human with the machine, to foster a more peaceful and beneficial ecosystem.
An immersive, interactive experience with light shows and a soundtrack: this free exhibition invites visitors to dive into digital art and the artist’s universe.
The lineup is completed by the works of four young Korean talents: the real and the virtual confront and entwine in these pieces that probe the relationship between humans and the digital. The artists urge us to view this ultra-technological modern world in a new light, a world that can be as redemptive as it is destructive.
The Fiminco Foundation is hosting an exhibition that gives us plenty to think about, while revealing the work of artists from across the globe. The free exhibition will be on view in the spring in Romainville.
