Elsa Wagnières presents Là où rien ne devait pousser (Where Nothing Should Have Grown), an immersive installation where 12 families of hybrid creatures inhabit a world of ash and light. Conceived with Stable Diffusion and ChatGPT from the fictional bestiary "Deep vermins" written by the artist, these techno-organic species are conceived by the machine and inspired by survival strategies of living organisms in ravaged mining sites. Between art, science and ecological speculation, the exhibition questions resource depletion, technological dependence and the possibility of mutant life born from disaster. Through a journey combining pathways, sounds and organic materials, visitors dive into a futuristic ecosystem where life has reinvented itself after ecocide, a critical fiction where AI models a future shaped by its own conditions of destruction and invites us to rethink the power dynamics between natural and artificial.
