Amid simulations, a surplus of data, false certainties and synthetic relationships – we analyse, we probe. Not truly knowing ourselves, we alter what never needed to be changed.

Lost, we create beings more intelligent than ourselves, even as we lose our own identity.

The artists turn their gaze to the symptoms of our contemporary condition: environmental, technological and existential.

Their works present images of a world in decline – outwardly, in the altered landscapes of flora and fauna; inwardly, in the human being who blurs the boundary between reality and simulation, between identity and algorithm.
As we remain caught in cycles of speculation, fear and destruction, nature continues to seek solutions, reminding us that perhaps we are not the centre of the world after all.
