Five artists - aaajiao, Noh Sangho, Rao Weiyi, Tan Mu, and Wu Ziyang - confront the limits and opacities of generative technologies. The exhibition, inspired by Borges’ short story The Circular Ruins, explores the idea that even the creator might be an illusion. Glitches - seemingly accidental faults in digital systems - become spaces for critical revelation. Noh Sangho stages characters trapped in an endless loop of faith and data; aaajiao transforms the screen into a membrane between the digital and the corporeal. Tan Mu reflects on the invisible infrastructures of memory, while Wu Ziyang constructs a sci-fi archaeology of the present. Finally, Rao Weiyi paints intimate scenes that resist digital alienation. Rather than seeking mastery over AI, these artists embrace ambiguity, creating works where error and fragmentation open pathways to new possibilities.
Through mirrors, light, and clay, Ako Goto builds a suspended world where the gaze becomes presence and the reflection a mute voice of what is absent yet still speaks to us.
