Miguel Chevalier will present ‘Beyond Retina’, a new body of work, at The Mayor Gallery from 5 November to 18 December 2026.
The exhibition explores how vision extends beyond the human eye through intelligent cameras, algorithms, neural networks and AI systems. It presents seeing as a process of analysing, recognising, mapping, predicting and connecting streams of information through AI.
The presentation brings together robotic drawings, dye-sublimation digigraphs on aluminium engraved with laser technology, 3D-printed sculptures, video works on screen and an interactive installation. Together, these static and moving works create a sensitive cartography of new forms of perception emerging in the twenty-first century.
It also marks a new stage in his practice by shifting the focus from the image itself to the nature of perception.
