The Qui est là ? installation is an image-prompting machine.
Qui est là ?

Visitors stand in front of the machine and type in their “prompt”. An image is generated in real time based on the prompt typed, and appears on the prompter's screen.
The machine's keyboard resembles that of a typewriter, but some of the keys are quite unusual, notably the Qui est là ? key. This Qui est là ? key is surely a key specific to telegraphic exchanges requiring a human operator at each end of the communication, to write and to read messages.
In the light of our times, the Qui est là ? key on the keyboard could only be a key to call out to an A.I., an artificial intelligence that is both vaporous and spiritual, omnipresent. A bit like “Esprit es-tu là?”
The images are totally created by an A.I. generative image-creation program that transforms a text - prompt - into an image.
Image generation tool: Stable Diffusion V1.6
