Art in the Age of AI: Memento Mori, Remembering Spring

In an AI age that increasingly stores memory, calculates time, and passes judgment on our behalf, this exhibition asks what we should remember. Sixteen artists bring together the vitality of spring with each of their own views on memory, time, nature, and the beauty of life, proposing a time to pause, look, and sense.

Memento mori — an awareness of the end of life — keeps us from letting the present slip away lightly. Recognizing that everything passes sharpens the emotions and choices of each moment, turning that awareness not toward emptiness but toward a deeper appreciation of life's fleeting preciousness. Accepting disappearance quietly refines how we face today.

This exhibition speaks of endings while also looking toward the season that begins again. Spring returns each year, yet never stays the same. In that change we discover the singular meaning of the present moment. The positive energy and messages of hope in the artists' works stand out all the more clearly against the backdrop of finite time — records made on the premise of disappearance, a memory of crossing one season.

As AI accumulates memory, art calls human memory and sensation back into being. We invite you to join us in asking what we will choose to remember.
