EBB in collaboration with Tony Oursler Me Time #2 – Sibyl

Initiated by Neïl Beloufa, EBB invites artists, authors, and filmmakers to experiment with the technologies that shape our digital lives in today’s attention economy.

Along a digital and physical infrastructure network in the Parc des Ateliers and The Tower, unfolding storylines transform the visit to LUMA Arles into a self-directed narrative journey. Me Time leads to an interactive and immersive projection room manifesting the viewer’s imagination in distorted and unpredictable ways.

As part of a long-term research interest on the use of innovation in the service of artists’ visions, Me Time showcases technologies such as generative AI, data privacy, recommendation algorithms, and information personalization, making them accessible and actionable. Taking the form of a gamified experience, this project provides a space for ongoing experimental cultural production and a generative, artist-led use of technologies.
 

Tony Oursler: Sibyl

For this second edition, titled Sibyl Tony Oursler (USA, 1957) summons an ever-evolving oracle that fuses future predictions, conspiracy theories, and Provençal mythologies. Halfway between arcade attraction and uncanny apparition, this spectral clairvoyant reads individually tailored prophecies, oscillating perspectives from current scientific speculation to historical occult phenomena. By harnessing the capacity of artificial intelligence to generate these complex, intertwined narratives, Oursler critically examines the role of technology in the construction of contemporary belief systems, magical thinking, and their aesthetic tropes.

Personalized, unique edition prints by Tony Oursler are available for purchase at the LUMA Arles boutique, Level -2.
