Exhibition: Solo Show June Kim in Le Grand Palais Éphémère - NFT Paris 2024 by ART GIRLS and ARTHEMORT

Press any key to unlock the realm of the coming new era. “Digital Season, Merging Redthread Landscape” is a still image from the animation ‘Press Any Key To Unlock’. This animated work was produced as part of a commission for the “Screen Saver” exhibition in Tokyo organized by the collector Unknow Collector in March 2024. The title echoes the infamous dispute between art critic Jerry Salz and artist Refik Anadol.

Relations between artists and art critics have often been explosive, and the tradition of this misunderstanding goes back a long way: Edouard Manet was mocked, the Impressionists humiliated... More recently, another quarrel erupted on the X platform (ex Twitter) between artist Refik Anadol and critic Jerry Saltz, over the Unsupervised-Machine Hallucinations-MoMA work, created in 2022 by Anadol and powered by artificial intelligence, which was exhibited on the first floor of MoMA for a year, a period that ended on October 29, 2023. The quarrel began in February 2023, when Saltz first examined Unsupervised, then acquired by the museum to add to its permanent collection. In his review, he begins on a positive note, calling the work a “runaway success”, but later expresses his disagreement, calling curator Michelle Kuo “responsible for this pointless museum mediocrity”. He goes on to list the work's shortcomings. He uses adjectives such as “derivative and familiar”, “mildly entertaining” and “a half-million-dollar screen saver”. As a critic, Saltz had every right to express his opinion of Anadol's work, but the comments kept coming. Earlier this month, he continued his attack on Anadol on X, calling the work a “mind-numbing multi-million dollar spectacle” and a “house of cards”. The debate flared up, Anadol responded, and Salz struck the final blow, calling Anadol's work a mere “Screen Saver”, which earned him the wrath of the digital art community.

June Kim comes to the artist's defense in this creation, taking offense at Jerry Salz's characterization of Refik Anadol's work as a mere “Screen Saver”, royally ignoring the artist's entry into MOMA's permanent collection. The Korean artist, known for her installations and sculptures inspired by the concept of the red thread, is proud to say that she is now taking part in the historic invasion of digital art. A few years ago, this renowned visual artist didn't hesitate to appropriate the new tools of artificial intelligence, seeing in digital art and these new technologies a means of continuing to convey the philosophy of her art in new forms. In this work, the artist takes pleasure in mixing the red thread, symbolizing the ties that bind humanity, with the typical landscape of a screensaver, thus addressing the links between Humans and digital nature through the prism of new artificial intelligence processes. June Kim is currently running a major training program on new artificial intelligence processes at a number of universities in South Korea, to raise students' awareness of the concept of “prompt philosophy.”
