Fossils from the Future is a speculative image series that merges photographic documentation of real stones—gathered from mountain ranges and ocean shores—with elements generated through artificial intelligence. The AI models were trained on images of these natural stones interwoven with contemporary man-made objects, producing hybrid entities that resemble geological specimens yet carry traces of technological design. Arranged as visual taxonomies or fictive collections, these compositions evoke an archaeology of the future, where sedimented time layers human debris and synthetic memory. The project reflects on the entanglement of the natural and the artificial, proposing a posthuman geology in which objects are no longer passive matter but agents within complex media ecologies. Fossils from the Future engages with media theory’s concern for the materiality of the image, while suggesting that future strata may hold not only mineral deposits, but encrypted cultural imaginaries.

The Time is not linear. Fuerteventura.

Dr Egle Rindzeviciute: ,,In this world where the value of the image continues deflating, Agne Gintalaite took a radical decision to use the generative AI to produce things. Going beyond Susan Schuppli’s relational notion of photography as a material witness, Gintalaite engages with the artistic strategy of a ready-made. The mysterious objects that she displays in her pictures appear both familiar and alien. Their digitally mediated materiality recalls the surreal aesthetics of Alina Szapocznikow’s sculptures, at once organic and industrial, personal and sampled, appearing as fragments of the whole that has been forever lost. The advance of photography and then, digital photography, has made images ubiquitous. The rise of the so-called generative AI, the algorithmic production of still and moving images, has furthered the avalanche of images. In the context of the on-going crisis of authorship and artist careers that are undermined by the algorithms, Gintalaite’s THINGS re-enchants the digital visuality: perhaps people no longer need new images, but could it be that they need radically new THINGS?"
