!Mediengruppe Bitnik’s “Computer Says No” takes over the Gothic nave of Kunsthalle Osnabrück (DE) with an exploration of the “ghostly corporeality” of artificial intelligence. In the Swiss duo’s titular installation, Qwen Stefani—an AI doppelgänger of the No Doubt vocalist—delivers affective sermons on the necessity of global unity in a moment of tech fascism. The duo also updates the Simple Sabotage Field Manual (1944), offering new tactics for everyday digital resistance.

“Model Collapse” dives into generative AI’s feedback loops and cultural distortions at Kunsthalle Wien. The flagship exhibition for Vienna Digital Cultures features works from Arvida Byström, Kate Crawford & Vladan Joler, Mathias Gramoso, Jonas Lund, Eva & Franco Mattes, and Troika, exploring topics ranging from machine vision to deepfake porn. The show embraces how the artifice of LLMs and AI image generation are “destabilizing the very ground on which we stand,” writes curator Nadim Samman.

“ATTENTION IS ALL I NEED,” the aptly titled online exhibition co-hosted by HEK Basel and OnCurating Academy, examines self-representation as artistic practice—not narcissism. Curator Jonny-Bix Bongers populates a browser canvas with new and recent works by allapopp, Kim Albrecht, Damjanski, Orhun Mersin (aka kekik), Charmaine Poh, and Carla Streckwall that, through deepfakes, 3D avatars, and social media performances, explore how technology shapes identity—oscillating between playful reinvention and capitalist determinism.

Amsterdam’s media art platform LI-MA concludes its “New Art on Screen” tour with a showcase of video works by emerging artists (“Bring Your Own File”) and treasures from LI-MA’s own collection at the 171project.space in Arnhem (NL). Featured artists include Luna Maurer & Roel Wouters, Katja Verheul, Broersen & Lukács, and Jessica Tucker, whose brand-new piece fickleporno (2025) leverages AI-generated deepfake workflows (trained on her own face) to explore the “hypermediated body in a world of excessive visibility and surveillance capitalism.”

Chatbots, deepfakes, AI hallucinations: “Ghosts” at Upstream Gallery in Amsterdam interrogates our machine doppelgangers—“invisible, disembodied entities that hover between presence and absence.” Curator Anne de Jong brings together works by twelve artists including Simon Denny, Constant Dullaart, Alicia Framis, Holly Herndon & Mat Dryhurst, Jen Liu, and Jonas Lund who venture into the liminal spaces of large language models where “these digital entities flicker in and out of existence, mimicking yet distorting humanness.”

Sarah Friend launches Prompt Baby (2024), a series of 69 NFTs on [Modularium] and the Celestia blockchain. Collectors purchase the right to send Friend an image prompt, which the Canadian artist may use to generate a one-of-a-kind AI image of ‘Sarah Friend’ with a model trained on photos of herself and NSFW images. She reserves the right to reject any prompt and negotiate image contents. The collector-artist dialogue centres “consent and identity, and models an alternative to the harmful proliferation of deepfakes,” writes Friend.
