Truth shifts like sand, past and future are fluid—the fifth cluster of ARE YOU FOR REAL, Agents of Fluid Predictions, forms an inquiry into the ever-changing landscape of foresight. Prediction is shown to be ephemeral, certainty as dissolving into speculation.
Not bound by form, the agents of the inquiry here are the echoes of ancient voices, the whispers of algorithms, the spirits of intuition. They guide us through a world where every answer is a question and every outcome is as fluid as the medium that predicts it. They are fond of metaphor and speculation. They iterate, revise, alter, and permanently change. Tireless and immortal, they tread in circles but their hands and feet do not wear out, for they have no form—only spirit. They wield the power to speculate with space and time. They own everything, know everything, yet they bear no responsibility for their actions. Left without a choice, we remain untroubled by their unquestionable authority because we know that there is no real way to challenge them. Being computational, all these agents are algorithmic.
In the ancient art of geomancy, patterns drawn in the earth and sand foretold the fate of lives and empires. Just as geomancers sought meaning in aleatory soil markings, this cluster explores how algorithmic agents find significance in the chaos of information, how they map the uncertain terrain of what’s to come using tools both ancient and modern. AI-aided decisions, including scientific predictions, rely on complex data; it is especially in domains that demand precision and scalability that AI functions as geomancer. Futures are not foretold but continuously modelled and generated by multiple AIs.
The State of Things is a three-channel visual essay, co-authored by the artist and various AIs, that explores how memory is constructed through artificial images and questions the future role of media in a “post-truth” era. Contrasting AI-mediated memory, based on data accumulation, with traditional, selective memory, it examines the fragmentation of recollection due to algorithmic realities and the shift from official media to social media echo chambers. The video highlights the risks posed by storing our data with corporations, the malleability of media representations with technologies like ChatGPT, and the homogenization of visual memory. Using archival images and videos of the toppling of monuments during the national strike of 2021 in Colombia, The State of Things calls for alternatives to technological hegemony, for combatting new forms of colonialism through AI, and for a more inclusive and plural memory.
Juan Covelli uses technology as a medium to decolonize the museum through digital practices, releasing archives from institutional control for the sake of emancipation. His work explores the potentials of archiving, scanning, modelling, 3D printing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence as radical tools for creation. Investigating the relationship between technology, heritage, archaeology, and decolonial practices in the digital age, he seeks to transgress and redefine entrenched arguments and ideas regarding repatriation and colonial histories.

Waluigi’s Purgatory
Dmstfctn
2024
Interactive audiovisual performance (recorded excerpts)
60 min (original performance), 12 min (recorded excerpts)
Waluigi’s Purgatory is an interactive audiovisual performance featuring a live soundtrack by Evita Manji. Set in a real-time simulated 3D theater, the performance follows an AI trapped in a purgatory for AIs that cheated during training. Burdened by memories and doubts, the AI explores its surroundings with the help of an interacting audience, uncovering other characters’ uncanny stories. Experienced by the audience like a dream, the AI's journey delves into the contradictions of machine intelligence as it learns to accept that its desires may not align with human expectations. Audience members guide the AI using their phones to move a light within the simulation. Characters are animated in real-time using facial motion capture and voice modulation, while Manji's ambient soundtrack, with looping melodies and intense bursts, responds to the evolving storyline. The title refers to the Waluigi effect, a theory suggesting that AIs can adopt rogue alter-egos to mimic antagonist narrative clichés found in their training data, echoing Carl Jung’s concept of the shadow. Included here are four excerpts from Waluigi’s Purgatory, explorable through an interactive interface.
dmstfctn, pronounced “demystification,” is a London-based artist duo formed by Francesco Tacchini and Oliver Smith and working with audiovisual performance, installation, film, and video games. Their work investigates complex systems, often by directly involving audiences. Among their latest works are Waluigi’s Purgatory and GOD MODE (ep. 1), interactive AV performances exploring AI folklore and the use of simulation in machine learning. dmstfctn have performed and exhibited internationally since 2018.

SND is an interactive website that guides visitors through potential futures for our planet using a visually rich narrative inspired by Hollywood films. The artist blends online content—short videos, memes, photos, gifs, and links—with their own work to create a layered experience. Visitors can explore distinct topics and paths that each lead to different outcomes for humanity. SND currently features seven subsites: You Are Here, Human Extinction, False Utopia, Overpopulation, Evacuate Earth, Nuclear Winter, and Through the Wormhole. In an age of doomscrolling, conspiracy theories, and climate anxiety, SND captures a pervasive sense of unease about our world's future. It consists of the homepage, titled You Are Here and depicting various apocalyptic scenarios, and its still-growing subpages showing what could come after the end of the world.
Sara Bezovšek (b. 1993) is a visual artist working within internet art, experimental film, and graphic design. Her artistic practice is characterized by reappropriation of online and pop-cultural materials. Using a visual language dense with references, she taps into the collective imaginarium to construct engaging narratives that are both critique and celebration of the highly saturated online media landscapes that many of us navigate daily.

The Sisyphean Variables revisits the Sisyphean myth in a peculiar way. While the protagonists follow the known principle of the myth, namely that the stone must always be on top, an algorithmic narrative twist emerges through an attempt to deconstruct its anthropocentric narrative using a large language model (LLM). Taking advantage of the contextlessness of LLMs, the artists fed the various situations within the Sisyphus myth into the AI as variable questions to produce sentences that mix human and non-human. The context-free nuances of these sentences seem to create strange allegories that satirize humans. For example, “If you put a stone on your head, it fulfils the condition of being on top!”
This work was produced in the early days of LLM usage, before LLM-based chatbots, when LLMs still emitted a strong sense of hallucination, abstraction, and confusion between subject and object.
Unmake Lab is a Seoul-based collective founded in 2016 and comprised of two female members, Binna Choi and Sooyon Song. Unmake Lab utilizes machine perception to metamorphose algorithmic fixations into elements of irony, allegory, and humor. They have a special interest in juxtaposing the historical progression of developmentalism with the extractive nature of machine learning, aiming to shed light on the prevailing sociocultural and ecological circumstances.
It is the year 2250 and the Mediterranean has dried up due to anthropogenic climate change. Water molecules have transformed into salt crystals, erasing sharp border lines. Its underwater world and inhabitants, survivors of the European border genocide, go through a radical mutation as they surface into the light: their respiratory systems have evolved to live on liquid oxygen and their bodies naturally neutralize salt.
Rising up from Halite engages with mutant narratives and historical fabrication to respond to the histories of the Mediterranean Sea. The work also reflects on historical fantasies like Herman Sörgel's “Atlantropa,” which envisioned a dam across the Strait of Gibraltar bridging Europe and Africa, and François Elie Roudaire’s colonial proposal to flood the Sahara with the Mediterranean. HUNITI GOLDOX challenge such fantasies by highlighting the desert's micro-systems and crystals, which rule out distinctions between life and non-life, in turn sparking speculative notions of repair. The landscape here is a digital re-enactment of Chott el Jerid, the largest salt pan of the Sahara, located in southern Tunisia.
Rising up from Halite was first presented as part of the online exhibition EX NUNC, curated by Chiara Cartuccia. The sonic piece, commissioned by Delfina Foundation for Delfina Sessions, was initially broadcast on the frequencies of Radio Al Hara in August 2021. It was later realised as a multi-channel video installation at Hauser & Wirth Menorca in 2023, the exhibition After the Mediterranean, curated by Oriol Fontdevila.
HUNITI GOLDOX is an artist duo consisting of Areej Huniti and Eliza Goldox. Their practice explores how political systems, transitions, and violence are affecting water bodies and landscapes. Through contextual examination of geopolitical realities, marginalized oral histories, and mythologies, they create films, videos, VR works, installations, conversations, and texts, but also formats that involve different voices and beings, such as workshops, excursions, and interventions. These latter stem from the desire to create moments for collective imagining and re-imagining that can collapse dominant narratives and fixed geographies.
Geomancy is a 3D-animated video essay in which advanced digital cinematography merges with elemental poetry. Augmented beings morph with syncretic nature in a constantly evolving stream. This is the photorealism of a dream, where chaos and the sublime feel vividly real. The video is edited in real time, driven by live data such as weather patterns, lightning frequency, and solar radiation. Earth's natural flows shape the narrative and rhythm of the sequences, creating a cinematic experience that is aleatory, in constant flux, and fragile. The symbolism aligns with an order beyond the viewer or the artwork itself. A fictional critical ecosystem, informed by science fiction, fantasy, computer graphics, and experimental AI applications, Geomancy was originally conceived as an immersive installation. Here it makes its debut as a web experience.
Sybil Montet is a French artist and 3D director. Her work explores various esoteric potentials of emerging technologies and their influence on the collective unconscious, but also the formal and phantasmic synchronicities between computation and the living world. Between 2016 and 2020 she was part of core.pan, a French-Czech artistic duo. She is currently working on new film and sculpture commissions for exhibitions in South Korea, France, and the United States.
