Today and tomorrow are the final days to visit my exhibition Lies, Half-Truths & Propaganda [The Bad, the Worse, and the Worst] at alexanderlevy gallery, now located at Alt Moabit 110, Berlin.
The show emerged as a direct response to the brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine and includes works by invited artists, including those from Ukraine. It also presents a series of ideas and prototypes exploring how emerging technologies — such as web3 — can be leveraged to counter the disinformation strategies that lie at the core of contemporary propaganda warfare.
I'll share more on the individual works soon.

A critical and technical exploration of the capacities of AI models to reconstruct missing fragments of objects from classical antiquity and generate synthetic historical documents carved in stone. This work questions the epistemological qualities of AI-accelerated historiography, akin to 'reverse archaeology'.

An online mystification concerning a parascientific breakthrough discovery of a never-before-seen colour. The digital myth took the form of a fictitious company's website, video adverts & mockumentary interviews to become a viral sensation attracting mass attention online.
