Chasing Digital Truth
Lithuania
2025
The artistic study of generative AI’s creative force has been carried out within the limits of black-and-white photographic aesthetics, which, to paraphrase Susan Sontag, is deemed reliable in our minds. Here, this reliability is not meant to deceive. The mistakes become indicators of AI’s thinking method. The images generated without any mistakes could be used as misinformation tools. On the other hand, the digital objects selected do not seek to intrude on so-called reality. The data used to train AI generative models blend with the authenticity of Agnė Gintalaitė’s personal photo album. The sympoiesis of human and technology creates subjects that represent the ontology of an emerging hybrid world. Once we acknowledge it, it is no longer “foreign”.

About the artist
Born in 1976, Agnė Gintalaitė makes objects that generally exist only as representations in visuals that are similar to photographs. Having studied art, psychology and cultural studies, she is currently studying for a doctorate in ethnology. Inspired by mobility theory, her creative practice questions conventional binary oppositions.
