Installation views and works of "Format Error occurred at offset" by Chen Zirui, on view in the current exhibition "Synthetic Realities: Authenticity in the Age of AI Imagery." What begins as a seemingly straightforward desktop documentary quickly spirals into something far more unsettling. Chen Zirui’s Format Error Occurred at Offset dissects how governments collect, control, and distort our images, exposing the fragile and ambiguous nature of identity within bureaucratic systems. In stark contrast, the work interrogates the ways AI image generation is used in the art and culture industries. Culture is not just defined by what it creates, but by what it destroys—and in the AI-driven future, it’s the human subject who disappears first. Beneath the shiny promises of progress, what’s already here is a more efficient, globalized exploitation of the self, and within the paradigm of capitalism, this is often performed under the guise of innovation.

Installation view of "ADHD" by @mmiliszkiewicz, on view in the current exhibition "Synthetic Realities: Authenticity in the Age of AI Imagery." Maciej Miliszkiewicz ADHD, 2025 Single-channel video, color, sound 00:01:30 A world where the backs of cars are indistinguishable from their fronts. Che, che, che, che, che check out Maciej Miliszkiewicz’s music video ADHD and join the chain gang. Keep an eye and an ear out for that electronic flute solo. Text by Clint Enns.

Installation view of "Offeah" by icysaw, on view in the current exhibition "Synthetic Realities: Authenticity in the Age of AI Imagery." icysaw Offeah, 2025 Single-channel video, color, sound 00:02:11 There exists a subset of AI-generated images and videos that occupy the space between the uncanny valley and the grotesque, unsettling in ways that defy easy categorization. These works generate what might be called the promptum—a visceral, internal jolt that originates not in the mind but in the gut, a sharp disturbance that bypasses language. Offeah by icysaw pushes this sensation to its extreme, creating an immersive experience that feels like stumbling into a box-opening livestream on the deep web—raw, voyeuristic, and teetering on the edge of taboo. The work doesn’t ask for interpretation, offering its hands to the viewer, pulling them into a digital uncanny that feels both eerily familiar and profoundly wrong. Text by Clint Enns.

Installation views of "Witness" @mindwank, on view in the current exhibition "Synthetic Realities: Authenticity in the Age of AI Imagery." This project satirizes the commodification of trauma within the attention economy. In On Photography and Regarding the Pain of Others, Susan Sontag argues that repeated exposure to images of suffering can numb our capacity for genuine empathy. Drawing on contemporary social media practices and Jean Baudrillard’s concept of hyperreality, wherein simulations—staged or digitally constructed—supplant the “real,” this project intentionally blurs the line between authentic and artificial narratives in the age of AI. Between the superficial status posturing and the profoundly disturbing fictionalized events, something feels all too familiar, all too “real.” Now don’t forget to smash that like button and subscribe.

Installation view of "Sunday School" by @a1111ac011d0, on view in the current exhibition "Synthetic Realities: Authenticity in the Age of AI Imagery." Anna Condo Sunday School, 2024-2025 NFT on Ethereum Blockchain Unique 0.8 ETH on @superrare: https://superrare.com/artwork/eth/0x457CECB820a2bfCe02c8377D806d5878eE269d8E/83 Anna Condo Sunday School, 2024-2025 Dye Sublimation Print 106.7 x 60 cm Edition 3 + 2 AP Anna Condo’s Sunday School dismantles the fantasy of a self, replacing it with a figure assembled from digital rubble and a blue-velvet dress with a stiff white collar. The face isn’t hidden—it’s overwritten, remixed, refusing to offer the intimacy we’re conditioned to expect. Behind the figure, the schoolyard contains symbols of early formation: playground equipment, asphalt, and brick walls. These are the sites where norms are rehearsed, where rules are absorbed. But now they are empty, paused and digitally estranged—awaiting another version of childhood to emerge. Text by Clint Enns.

Installation view of "Soledad" by Isabelita Virtual, on view in the current exhibition "Synthetic Realities: Authenticity in the Age of AI Imagery." "Soledad" is a very common female name in Spanish; it also means solitude. Soledad is the story of a specter who lives in isolation in nature but feels the desire to be with someone. The short film explores the theme of disconnection. It can be interpreted as a metaphor for someone living in a foreign country, for autism and the challenges of communication, or more broadly, it reflects on the human need to connect and the difficulties some individuals face in doing so. Ironically we feel alone in a hyperconnected society. Soledad was selected by OpenAI as part of Sora Selects screening in the Metrograph Movie Theater in New York in February 2025. Sales are live on @verse: https://verse.works/series/soledad-by-isabelita-virtual

Installation view of "Rezyklierung" by Niklas Poweleit, on view in the current exhibition "Synthetic Realities: Authenticity in the Age of AI Imagery." Niklas Poweleit Rezyklierung, 2022 Single-channel video, color, stereo sound 00:01:05 What would the game of telephone look like if it was played by machines? Niklas Poweleit’s Rezyklierung [Recycling] uses three screens to explores how images shift as they pass through different modes of perception and translation. A car moves down a road on the first screen. The second screen breaks this down into data, while the third presents an AI’s attempt to reconstruct the moment from its digital remains. What returns is not the same image, but something altered—reshaped by process and digital interpretation. Text by Clint Enns.

Clip from “Soledad” by Isabelita Virtual, currently on view in the exhibition “Synthetic Realities: Authenticity in the Age of AI Imagery.” “I like being here” is the opening line of Soledad by Isabelita Virtual. Solitude in addition to feminist resilience is an equation for solace. To be close and far away at the same time, to have the space discover a version of yourself you didn’t know existed. The work demonstrates that self is no longer the excavation of a buried truth, but the conscious and continual act of self-construction—a becoming shaped not by what lies beneath, but by what one dares to create in the open. You’ll like being there, too. Text by Clint Enns. Stills go on sale on @verse tomorrow. DM if you’d like to inquire about the video: https://verse.works/series/soledad-by-isabelita-virtual
