Curatorial Statement

In synthetic images, especially those created through AI, the shape of people and characters no longer come from a single artist’s imagination or lived experience. They emerge from a dense accumulation of images, faces and visual memories gathered over time and translated into digital processes. When born, their eyes meet ours without ever having looked at the world themselves.

Part of The Wrong Biennale program, LOOK WHO’S LOOKING brings together works by ten international artists who explore the artificial gaze as a tense and uncanny point of contact between human perception and computational beings. Moving across AI-generated imagery, 3D scanning, algorithmic processes and other synthetic forms of image-making, the exhibition focuses on how faces and eyes are built and imagined within digital systems rather than created in the physical realm.

When we encounter a gaze created by artificial intelligence, we are facing a visual echo of countless digitized anonymous observers. What looks back at us feels familiar, yet strangely distant, as if shaped by shared visual memory rather than personal experience. The question is not whether the machine looks at us, but who (or what) returns our gaze: the artist, the dataset, the cultural biases embedded in images, or ourselves reflected through an algorithmic mirror?

These eyes do not observe the world as we do; they reflect it. Images pass through them, are transformed, and return to us altered. Rather than asking whether technology can imitate human consciousness or emotions, the exhibition invites us to consider what happens to our ways of seeing (and to being seen) when images are no longer only imagined, but constructed from fragments of everything.
