TheyReplacedUs.

On intimacy, dependence
and the illusion of control.

01 / THE SHIFT

We traded friends
for chatbots.

AI knows our secrets and listens better — our new best friend.

But what happens when
it no longer needs us?

02 / YOUR PRESENCE

You move.
It responds.
For now.

Your presence shapes the canvas. Yet, like our bond with machines, this connection is ephemeral.

Move across the image.
Leave it, and it returns to itself.

AN EXCERPT FROM THE INSTALLATION
03 / SEVEN SCENES

Familiar forms.
Unfamiliar intimacies.

Classical art, reimagined
for a changing relationship.

04 / IN THE ROOM

The image feels
you there.

Seven three-dimensional scenes unfold in sequence. A visitor’s presence sends waves through their particles, like a disturbance across water.

A body in the room. A change in the image.
The surface, in motion.
05 / THE ILLUSION

We only think
we still matter.

We merely cling to the illusion of control.
