The journey begins at Dawn of a New Age, where ancient boulders blink with digital eyes and one recites Haikus, heralding AI’s strange arrival into human history. It continues to Forest Dancer, where a joyful figure handstands in healing light, inviting visitors to rediscover creativity and happiness beyond the pull of their phones. The path then winds through The Uncanny Valley, a glowing maze of rocks and shifting light where Petros, an AI-enabled stone, watches those who pass and blurs the line between wonder and unease. From there, visitors arrive at The Pond of Reflection, where LED lily pads and foil water mirror the screens that capture our attention, while glitching trees hint at the environmental cost of progress. The pilgrimage concludes at Modern Guru, a floating translucent oracle that dispenses cryptic wisdom only after being photographed, asking whether humanity’s next prophets may be machines. 

The exhibition invites reflection on how we spend our time - to consume more consciously, perhaps less often, and to live more creatively. Ultimately, Modern Guru and the Path to Artificial Happiness suggests that happiness still lies in our humanity: in joy, agency, embodied experience, and the enduring power of creativity.
