Der Divan – The Arabic Cultural House- sincerely invites

you to the Vernissage „Portraits of the Artificial“ 

by Iyad Rahwan

Prof. Dr. Iyad Rahwan’s exhibition „Portraits of the Artificial“ offers an artistic perspective on the complex relationship between humans, machines, and artificial intelligence (AI). In the manner of a classic portraitist, Rahwan asks Chat GPT how it sees itself. Through oil on canvas, his paintings capture a historical moment—the birth of machine self-consciousness. Rahwan’s interdisciplinary work explores the societal and ethical implications of AI and will be open for viewing from June 28, 2024 (Vernissage at 7:00 PM) until September 27, 2024. 

The exhibition is curated by Nadim Samman.

When: Vernissage, Friday, June 28, 2024, at 7:00 PM
Where: Divan – The Arabic Cultural House, Schützallee 27, 14169 Berlin
Exhibition: June 28, 2024 – September 27, 2024
