Participating Artists: Ewa Wes, Grzegorz Bugaj, Radim Koros, exhibition co‑curated by a custom AI system
“Unknown Field” is a group exhibition in Kraków that explores the role of the Unknown in contemporary artistic practice across painting, sculpture, interactive installations, games, and AI‑based digital works. Co‑curated with a custom‑built AI system, the project focuses on uncertainty as an active condition rather than a theme, using algorithmic processes to introduce disruption, unpredictability, and unexpected links between works.
Starting from the question of whether today’s central challenge is not a lack of knowledge but its excess, “Unknown Field” situates the Unknown as a critical space within a world increasingly shaped by predictive technologies. Instead of stabilising what is already known, the exhibition proposes the Unknown as a zone where perception is unsettled and meaning remains in flux.
The curatorial framework is developed in collaboration with a bespoke AI curator designed not to optimise, classify, or confirm existing narratives, but to act as a destabilising agent in the exhibition’s structure. By generating alternative constellations and connections between works, the system opens up speculative readings that resist closure and challenge conventional expectations of coherence.
Alongside paintings and sculptures, the exhibition features interactive installations, games, and digital pieces created with and through AI, treating technology as a medium for reshaping questions rather than as a tool of efficiency or representation. “Unknown Field” proposes a shift from interpretation toward experience, from control toward negotiation, and from fixed structures toward an open field of uncertainty, inviting visitors to dwell in the generative tension between knowledge and its limits.
