How can we ensure AI is a tool for photography and not the other way around? To find out, French-Swiss photographer and artist Mathieu Bernard-Reymond designed a unique camera, in collaboration with the Swiss design studio Mouvement Studio, developed especially for the Swiss Camera Museum. The device features an AI system capable of listening to and processing what the photographer says when taking the shot, without needing to be connected to the internet. This new breed of apparatus blends the picture captured through the lens with the one dreamed up on the basis of the words spoken. The result is a whole new kind of dialogue between the photographer and the camera, reshaping the intimate process of taking pictures and interrogating our relationship with AI. Rather than casting artificial intelligence as wholly invisible, the device itself, the technology it uses and the images it produces invite us to consider AI as a tangible extension of the history of photographic art and technique.

A Camera Museum exhibition, on view from 18 March to 16 August 2026.

Curators : Mathieu Bernard-Reymond et Pauline Martin.
