Tiresias is a meditation on blindness as spiritual blindness and lack of foresight. Inspired by the blind prophet of Greek mythology Tiresias, a liminal being who exists as man and woman, between humankind and gods, blindness and sight, the piece critically examines AI recursive mirror by reimagining Tiresias, who can no longer see in darkness because it is replaced by recursion, self-replication, and infinite feedback loops of mirrored images. Blindness is not the absence of sight but its saturation.

Cabinet of Cognition – United States

Cabinet of Cognition is an AI-generated short film tracing the evolution of cognitive labor from the 18th-century Mechanical Turk to today’s global gig economy. The film explores how the “invisible workforce of AI” is hidden from view through a fictional narrative in the style of Jorge Luis Borges that is entirely AI-generated. The film challenges who truly “thinks” in the age of AI, and what it means to be a worker in a system that hides its human cost.

Lafayette by Morse – Australia

Samuel Morse was originally a painter. While painting this portrait of Lafayette he received a letter notifying him that his wife was gravely ill but the slowness of communication meant that he had no hope of returning home to her before she died. This in part inspired him to find a more direct form of communication. From this origin point comes all the electronic communication and transmission that consumes life in this century, the ribbons of data that constantly fly through our air.

Unfaded – South Korea

We carry memories that flow and expand like contour lines, forming emotional landscapes of warmth and coldness. Not only people, but objects, history, and even ancient trees hold these flowing memories. Every experience, whether joyful or painful, accumulates like layers of sediment, eventually hardening into rock and drawing unique ridges. The artist wishes to speak to all beings that gather and transform these memories into shape—especially to you, a small yet precious existence, still flowing and growing.

BIO

Born in Seoul (1982), she debuted in 2008. Her early works explored loss and isolation through canvas deconstruction.

Artificial Emotion – South Korea

Can artificial intelligence replace human emotion as well as intellect? This work originates from this fundamental inquiry. The creative process involves presenting photographs to an AI and prompting it to visualize the perceived emotions as humanoid figures. Through this experience, the audience is confronted with the profound gap between their own intuitive feelings and the machine’s algorithmic interpretation and expression.
