M for Leviathan was a solo exhibition held at Centre Clark in 2023. As an installation, it featured various interconnected elements that narrated an interpretation of the city personified as a sentient subject, as a symphony managed by an author, and the search for a body to represent this coming reality.The work was a response to developments in artificial intelligence, a field that accelerated greatly during the preparation of the exhibition. M for Leviathan’s premise was to copy the logic of copying and delegation, as well as the promises (or threats) of automation that would supersede human agency. From a certain point of view, to copy a robot trying to copy a human means returning to the imperfections of the human hand. Thus among all the copies in the show, there was a very manual aspect to all the included work, and very little sophisticated technology involved.
