E4. #4

A fascinating and unsettling encounter with the cyborg musicians of Finis Muscae, a transhumanist music collective in New York. A conversation with Pauline Nadrigny to understand the concept of the cyborg in music. Deconstructing techno-solutionism with Anne Alombert. And discovering a hypnotic, entirely AI-powered short film that makes us travelers in a world of pixels. PhantasIA explores AI creation and questions its limits, uses, and consequences for art and society.

E5. #5

PhantasIA 5 delves into the fragile zones of the human soul. Four explorations where AI technologies intrude upon our emotions, our traumas, our relationship to the world. This issue addresses a fundamental question: what remains of humanity in a world where machines claim to read our faces, our memories, our desires? Through a psychiatric experiment, an intimate documentary, a philosophical primer, and a digital tale, PhantasIA 5 weaves a common thread between art, consciousness, and the mystery of humankind.

E6. #6 Death and Ghosts

In the age of generative AI, ghosts are back, and our homes are more haunted than ever. Some of the deceased hire a vigilante to settle their scores. Death capitalism? Technologies exploit our vulnerabilities by simulating death without regard for the bereaved. Sometimes, AI also serves to reconcile and help people accept a sudden death. Grégory Delaplace, an anthropologist specializing in the relationship between the dead and the living, guides us through this haunted house!
