Through an experimental and conceptual work, Agnieszka Kurant (1978, Łódź, Poland) explores contemporary phenomena such as collective, non-human, and artificial intelligence, or the digital economy. Invited to invest in the Henry J. and Erna D. Leir Pavilion, the artist presents Risk Landscape. Bringing together new productions and recent works, the exhibition draws on technologies aimed at predicting and speculating on possible futures.

Risk Landscape revolves around the concept of "futurity," understood as the ability to project into the future while considering a present situation. The exhibition thus reflects a contemporary conception of the future as a speculative object.

The prediction of risk is indeed a measurable unknown, a factor in wealth creation. Inspired by technologies developed in various fields (climatology, finance, insurance, gambling), Agnieszka Kurant questions how predictions produced by these can influence the future. Conversely, she also highlights the impossibility of precisely anticipating the fate of living beings, climate, economy, and society.

Some of the presented works result from unpredictable processes such as the construction of termite habitats with complex and unique shapes, the chemical reaction of metal salts, the transformation of liquid crystals and programmable matter, or the evolution of irrational social phenomena. Others are designed based on data collection, artificial intelligence, simulation, and statistics – strategies used by the digital economy and catastrophe modeling techniques.

Risk Landscape illustrates a concept dear to the artist, who views the future of creation and intelligence as the result "of a multitude of agents, a polyphony involving humans, minerals, micro-organisms, viruses, algorithms." Her works are often created in close collaboration with scientists, researchers, and digital specialists. They oscillate between the biological, the mineral and the digital, the natural and the artificial, the real and the virtual, the living and the non-living. By creating these hybrid, intrinsically unstable objects, the artist thus opens the way to alternative futures and narratives.
