NVIDIA GTC 2025 Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, Paris

When Paul Mouginot first brought AI into his art practice, he knew he’d tapped an exciting new tool for creative expression. But only through its continued use did he come to appreciate AI’s versatility as an introspective entity — what he calls “a poetic counterpart in the act of creation.”

“When an AI is trained on deeply personal data, it stops being just a tool,” said Mouginot, who since 2019 has worked as the artistic entity aurèce vettier. “It becomes a reflective device for poetic speculation.”

The French artist is one of seven exhibitors presenting artwork created with AI at NVIDIA GTC Paris, taking place June 10-12 at VivaTech.

The art gallery will showcase genre-challenging artists and fashion designers who are redefining what’s possible when human imagination meets machine learning — offering a window into the future of creative expression.

“This is an opportunity to reach audiences beyond traditional art spaces — white cubes, echo chambers — and to engage in a broader cultural conversation about AI,” said aurèce vettier.

The works of aurèce vettier imagine speculative vegetal and animal forms (“sur-nature”) against a visual and spatial context (“sur-réalité”) derived from dreams.

For the series le travail des rêves and the light that is not seen, the artist trained generative AI models on images from his childhood and more recent photos from his phone. The generated images revealed dreamlike scenarios which he then transformed into oil paintings.

“NVIDIA’s technology gives artists the tools to reach new creative horizons,” he said. “I believe these technologies, tailored to artists’ ecosystems and mindful of resources, will help us explore new territories of emotion, memory and identity.”
