From May 6 to 30, 2026, Ada X is transforming its spaces into an art gallery. The exhibition On a Human Scale brings together four artistic proposals that explore interstitial zones – meeting points where memory, technology, ecology, and the body intersect. The works shift the focus of the gaze to defuse the supposed neutrality of technology. Attentive to non-hegemonic narratives, the artists reject any abstract universality and affirm situated and vulnerable practices. By subverting the promises of AI, de-hierarchising forms of intelligence and placing sensory experiences at the centre of the discourse, the project questions the regimes of perception, transmission and accessibility that structure our present. These orientations run through the entire project and form a methodology, originating from and passing through bodies and experiences historically excluded from regimes of visibility, legitimacy, and power.

Resolutely feminist and socially engaged, this exhibition gives space to experimental practices that are dear to Ada X’s mission. On a Human Scale invites us to take a stand: to slow down in the face of the pressure to be productive. To inhabit the cracks rather than ready-made solutions, to imagine ways of perceiving and transmitting that are relational rather than extractivist, and plural rather than normative. The exhibition is thus conceived as a device of resistance, where art becomes a critical tool for thinking about and practising other forms of coexistence in the era of algorithmic capitalism.

Access to the space
