Installation views of "Elections" and "Fucking Clowns" by @JessMacAI, on view in the current exhibition "Synthetic Realities: Authenticity in the Age of AI Imagery."

Jess Mac is a queer, mad artist and white settler working on the unceded ancestral territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. Their art practice engages with the intersection of institutional violence and the socio-political reality of personal trauma. Working with communities and individuals affected by stigma and oppression, MacCormack uses cultural platforms and distribution networks to facilitate collaborations which position art as a tool to engender personal and political agency. Working in various mediums – graphic novels, digital art, performance, installation, community art and video – their work explores queer politics, embodiment and criminalization. Jess Mac’s digital art has been shared through various platforms, such as Artforum International, Hyperallergic, Canadian Art, VICE Creator’s project, White Hot Contemporary Art, Bitch Magazine, PAPER Magazine and Art F City. Their interdisciplinary practice has been supported and exhibited by the Academie der Künste der Welte (Cologne, Germany), arbyte (London, UK), articule (Montréal, Canada), Western Front (Vancouver, Canada) and many other local and international galleries. They have an MFA in Public Art and New Artistic Strategies from the Bauhaus University (2008) and were an Assistant Professor of Studio Arts at Concordia University (2010-2013). Jess is currently an instructor at Emily Carr University of Art + Design and is working towards their PhD in Contemporary Art at Simon Fraser University.

Installation views and works of "Format Error occurred at offset" by Chen Zirui, on view in the current exhibition "Synthetic Realities: Authenticity in the Age of AI Imagery."

What begins as a seemingly straightforward desktop documentary quickly spirals into something far more unsettling. Chen Zirui’s Format Error Occurred at Offset dissects how governments collect, control, and distort our images, exposing the fragile and ambiguous nature of identity within bureaucratic systems. In stark contrast, the work interrogates the ways AI image generation is used in the art and culture industries. Culture is not just defined by what it creates, but by what it destroys—and in the AI-driven future, it’s the human subject who disappears first. Beneath the shiny promises of progress, what’s already here is a more efficient, globalized exploitation of the self, and within the paradigm of capitalism, this is often performed under the guise of innovation.

Installation view of "Rezyklierung" by Niklas Poweleit, on view in the current exhibition "Synthetic Realities: Authenticity in the Age of AI Imagery."

Rezyklierung, 2022
Single-channel video, color, stereo sound

What would the game of telephone look like if it was played by machines? Niklas Poweleit’s Rezyklierung [Recycling] uses three screens to explores how images shift as they pass through different modes of perception and translation. A car moves down a road on the first screen. The second screen breaks this down into data, while the third presents an AI’s attempt to reconstruct the moment from its digital remains. What returns is not the same image, but something altered—reshaped by process and digital interpretation.

Installation view of the current exhibition “Synthetic Realities: Authenticity in the Age of AI Imagery,” on view until June 7.

The cult of authenticity is a form of moral hygiene. It punishes contradiction, demands transparency, and disguises itself as empowerment. But what if “you do you, girl” and no one likes you? What if you discover at your absolute core isn’t “all your unique gifts, skills, abilities, interests, talents, insights, and wisdom” but a rotting black mould that is boring, cruel, incoherent, and untalented? The demand for authenticity isn’t actually about truth, it is about discovering the safest and most sterile version of yourself.

The so-called “authentic self” is not a source—it’s a symptom of a society that is desperate for anchors in a sea of instability. But it’s precisely in instability—those liminal, unformed zones—that subjectivity emerges as something dynamic, speculative, and even dangerous. To insist on a “true self” is to enforce a self-containment. It is to foreclose becoming in favour of coherence. It is the logic of the border, not the threshold.

Nowhere does this become more absurd than in the conversation around artificial intelligence. To demand that AI—or artists using AI—be “authentic” is to demand that something that is not fully formed, define its own conditions and boundaries of being. Yet, we must also consider the artists whose work is being ingested and fragmented by algorithms: are they—these creators whose labor is scraped, extracted, and commodified—regarded as “authentic”? Are we to believe that a photo of dog shit is more “authentic” than an illustration or painting by an underpaid artist simply because one is labeled with more certainty and more likely to be statistically represented in future iterations?

What is this hierarchy of value that assumes some kinds of labor, some images, some identities are inherently more “real” or more deserving of protection? Artistic labor has never been cleanly categorized, and yet the rise of generative models has forced a reckoning—one that too often results in reactionary claims about authenticity, purity, and theft, rather than deeper interrogations of how culture is made, who gets credited, and who gets erased.

The Perfect Human by Lilan Yang, releasing on @verse_works this Thursday:

https://t.co/MX1NJmJbkB

Inspired by Jørgen Leth’s arthouse classic The Perfect Human (1968), Lilan Yang’s work of the same name feeds a low-res YouTube rip of the original into StyleGAN2, forcing the machine to reflect on “the perfect human.” Over 9,000 stills are scraped, processed, and trained into a synthetic fever dream of “perfection.” The result isn’t a remake but a machine hallucination: a visual remix where smooth surfaces hide broken data. These generated images are then dragged back into the physical world as 16mm transparencies, completing a loop from film to algorithm and back. It’s not a question of what the perfect human is—but what happens when a machine tries to make one.

Trauma Influencers by @mind_wank, releasing soon on @verse_works:

https://t.co/8iYoAKtNBs

There is violence in watching—and a profound violence in the hunger to watch. Mind Wank’s Witness series confronts the grim appetite of our image economy for smiles and selfies. The horror is not the juxtaposition—it is the plausibility. This work does not mourn, it exposes; it reveals how collective trauma can become a backdrop for our own self-aggrandizement. As the towers fall, we can see how history dissolves into spectacle in an endless doom scroll—tragedy repackaged as content.

The authentic self is the you that can be found at your absolute core. It is the part of you that is not defined by your job, or your function, or your role. It is the composite of all your unique gifts, skills, abilities, interests, talents, insights, and wisdom. It is all your strengths and vaues that are uniquely yours and need expression, versus what you have been programmed to believe that you are “supposed to be and do.” It is the you that flourished, unselfconsciously, in those times in your life when you felt happiest and most fulfilled.
