Cartography of generative AI

Limited edition poster + digital version with informative article – 2024

The popularisation of artificial intelligence (AI) has given rise to imaginaries that invite alienation and mystification. At a time when these technologies seem to be consolidating, it is pertinent to map their connections with human activities and more than human territories. What set of extractions, agencies and resources allow us to converse online with a text-generating tool or to obtain images in a matter of seconds?

This work was supported by the grants for research and innovation in the visual arts of the Generalitat de Catalunya – Oficina de Suport a la Iniciativa Cultural (OSIC).

Cartography has been translated into nine languages, thanks to the selfless collaboration of teachers and activists from around the world.

In May 2024, a Spanish translation was published in the Revista de la Universidad de México in a special issue on AI.

In June 2025, a Chinese translation was published on the Neuritis 神經炎 portal.

In 2025, the cartography was converted into a role-playing game by Neuritis 神經炎 and presented at the Bottleverse Social Innovation Festival (瓶行宇宙 2025 社会创新节), which took place on June 7-8, 2025, in Anji, Zhejiang, China.
