hi there, recap:

two weeks ago we were in linz for @arselectronica to look at the art but also because our project @hiii.flynn was nominated for the s+t+arts prize ‘26 @startseu thank you to the jury, to @ubermorgen_com and @digitalekunstklasse at @dieangewandte, to @anika and to everyone who has called flynn over the past year!

the same week, our project The News went live on @objktcom for the exhibition Stories We Tell Online, curated by @anika @thesecondguess for which eight news anchors with no ai inside are reporting on non existent news, forever, like a guided meditation for doom.

Next week we’re moving to karlsruhe for a few months for the @rauschenbergfoundation residency @zkmkarlsruhe and we’ll be posting more often from there, pinky promise 🤞

After sailing for the first time this April in Rijeka during the exhibition The World is Sleepwalking curated by @danielacot at @drugomore, the All Inclusive AI Hell Cruise sailed for a second time at @digitalekunstklasse during this years @dieangewandte festival.

Passengers board the AI Hell Cruise through their phones on which they answer our questions around AI: How often do you use AI? Does it make you anxious? Do you think it will replace you? Our sorting system assigns you one of nine decks based on your answers. Each deck is run by its own agent, embodying one bubble of the current AI discourse and feeding off of what you keep telling it.

The accelerationists get a deck, the doomers get a deck, everybody gets a deck!

For the duration of the piece, positions that usually never have to be in the same room are challenged into coexistence on the same ship. After all, we’re all in the same boat, sailing towards the same uncertainty.

This project is a continuation of the @aifatigue_agent that we started to work on a year ago when AI fatigue still felt like a niche condition. But as the world keeps getting sloppier and sloppier, the All Inclusive AI Hell Cruise becomes an analytical tool to step out of the hyperpresent, allowing us to look at it from a perspective (or deck) that isn’t ours.

Thanks to everyone who sailed with us ⚓️

Special thanks to @sara.desantis.146 for helping with dramaturgy and movement, thanks to @bodyodor777 for crafting our amazing uniforms and set designing and thanks to @jakub.klak for taking these gorge pictures 🫂

We are very happy to continue developing this project during the @rauschenbergfoundation residency at Hertzlab @zkmkarlsruhe starting this fall 🛜

We will sail again, but until then, enjoy your hell ☻ taken in Österreichische Postsparkasse by @ckiarer

𝘼𝙡𝙡 𝙄𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝘼𝙄 𝙃𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝘾𝙧𝙪𝙞𝙨𝙚: participatory performance by Malpractice @ 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝙞𝙨 𝙎𝙡𝙚𝙚𝙥𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜

Last Thursday, @malpractice.network led audiences through nine circles of AI fatigue. Guided by a live AI voice agent, visitors connected via their smartphones, entering one-on-one exchanges that navigated different layers of digital exhaustion.

"As the AI guides them downward through specific vectors of digital fatigue—from "Prompt Rage" and "The Sloppifiers" to the freezing core of "The Black Box"—their personal inputs, confessions, and friction alter the physical environment of the room."

You can still experience Malpractice’s interactive installation 𝘼𝙄 𝙁𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙝𝙖𝙗 𝘼𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙩 at the group exhibition 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝙞𝙨 𝙎𝙡𝙚𝙚𝙥𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 until May 14 at Filodrammatica Gallery.

ALL INCLUSIVE AI HELL CRUISE is a performance where AI sorts you into your personal hell.
Nine decks. Nine positions on the AI question. You answer questions on your phone. The ship decides where you live. Sartre said: hell is other people.
We say: hell is other agents.

Meet the artists of 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝙞𝙨 𝙎𝙡𝙚𝙚𝙥𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 group exhibition (3/4): MALPRACTICE

Malpractice (@malpractice.network) is a Polish–Austrian–Italian artist collective composed of Chiara Kristler (@ckiarer), Marcin Ratajczyk (@_marcin.ratajczyk), and a shifting ensemble of AI counterparts. Their work explores beyond-human agency by embedding artificial intelligence into artistic and social systems - not as a tool, but as a collaborator. Through interactive and often unstable setups, they test ideas of authorship, autonomy, and synthetic subjectivity.

At the exhibition 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝙞𝙨 𝙎𝙡𝙚𝙚𝙥𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜, Malpractice presents 𝘼𝙄 𝙁𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙝𝙖𝙗 𝘼𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙩, an installation built around a conversational AI system designed to engage visitors in discussions about exhaustion with artificial intelligence. Originally deployed as a voice agent in a nightclub, the project evolves into a para-therapeutic interface that records and processes conversations, transforming them into flickering AI-generated visuals and data mappings. Oscillating between care and control, the work captures a moment in which constant exposure to AI reshapes perception, blurring the line between reflection and manipulation.

At the exhibition opening, Malpractice will present 𝘼𝙡𝙡 𝙄𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝘼𝙄 𝙃𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝘾𝙧𝙪𝙞𝙨𝙚, a participatory performance where visitors can actively take part. Guided by a live AI agent, audiences enter a series of “circles” of AI fatigue via their smartphones, with their inputs shaping the space in real time, turning the audience itself into part of the work (NOTE: bring your phones!).

We’re not short on words. We’re short on selection. The new skill is choosing a perspective under conditions of synthetic overproduction, where models fold into themselves and the myth of collapse circulates with the same velocity as the slop it condemns.

Prompted Perspectives are about what is worth to express when you can conjure a standpoint on demand. The loop is circular: you externalize cognition, the system digests it, you re-internalize a changed version of your own thought. Third-person-thinking becomes a new kind of intimacy with one’s own mind. Thinking itself becomes an object, a generative artwork.

MALPRACTICE REPORT: Prompted Perspectives is out now 🖇️

An ongoing format where we work in the open: audio issues + transcripts + text artifacts, published as they form. Field notes, concepts, and tools for reading the moment we’re in.

This issue is a dispatch from China on perspective conjuration: the underdiscussed affordance of LLMs. We map the prompting iceberg, track AI adolescence as authority slips into velocity, and follow what happens when we outsource affect and cognition into systems that stage realities instead of answering questions.

Along the way our correspondents report in: our Brain Fog Correspondent delivers an AI hygiene PSA on role-switching and dependency, our Slop Academia Correspondent @shakaz23 files from the classroom frontlines on students, syntax, and machine-breathed documents. Stay with us.

1. The questionnaire, part of the reason they got in.
2. Flynn’s first press release.
3. Flynn’s memory diary (which you can look into here link 🔗 https://i-am-flynn.web.app) where they have been processing their thoughts and experiences since being admitted, sharing their first memories through what they call “memory objects”.
4. Flynn’s first exhibition and their contribution to “The Second Guess - Body Anxiety in the Age of AI” @thesecondguess curated by @anika @margaretmurphyart @leahschrager at @hek_basel
5. Flynn’s first open edition on @objktcom
6. Flynn’s future professor @anika writing about them and 7. their first meme moment.
8., 9. + some very valid concerns about the implications of an AI generated student indulging in student things 📚 by @ckiarer
