Catastrophic Forgetting is a collection of works on paper that explores the interplay between organic forms and algorithmic processes. Each piece in this exhibition blurs the line between the natural and the artificial, inviting viewers into a world of ambiguity and wonder. At first glance, the works pulse with biomorphic vitality—forms that seem to bloom, breathe, and grow. Yet as the eye lingers, the illusion unravels. The intricacies reveal themselves as the result of deliberate, algorithmic construction and technological precision. This tension, the use of rigid, mechanical processes to conjure forms that feel profoundly alive, lies at the heart of the work, creating a sense of both enchantment and unease.

Are we witnessing nature, or a masterful simulation? Where, if anywhere, is the boundary drawn? The exhibition invites viewers to question what is real and what is constructed. By revealing the secrets behind these illusions, viewers are empowered to reclaim their autonomy, to see through the spectacle, and to reflect on the deeper consequences of technological mediation.

These works serve as a microcosm of our current moment. AI-powered tools are proliferating, and the forces that use them threaten individual freedom and expression. In exploring the collision between organic forms and artificial systems, the exhibition probes the consequences of technological advancement. It also highlights the fragility of autonomy in a world increasingly shaped by algorithms and power.

“Catastrophic forgetting” is a phenomenon in neural networks where, during the training process of an AI, the acquisition of new skills erases the knowledge of old skills. It serves as both a metaphor and a warning. The exhibition provides a lens through which to view this tension between innovation and erasure: the way technological progress can overwrite living memory, the fragility of continuity amid relentless change, and the precariousness of meaning itself in a world driven by constant updates and obsolescence. Here, the instability of knowledge is not just a technical problem, but a lived reality, one that underpins every form, every illusion, and every question posed by the work.
