"What Is It Like?": Exhibition Opening

"What Is It Like?" is a group exhibition that explores the nature of subjective reality, AI and consciousness.

Curated by Afro-Caribbean Trinidadian world-building curator Helen Starr, this exhibition reflects her practice of investigating the brain as a machine that constructs tailored realities. Featuring artworks by Anna Bunting-Branch, Choy Ka Fai, Damara Inglês, Katarzyna Krakowiak Balka, Lawrence Lek and Kira Xonorika, the exhibition celebrates how artists use AI tools and techniques to craft cultural meaning, bridging creativity, innovation and humanity into our rapidly evolving technological landscape.
