📆 IMPAKT Exhibition: Data Never Dies | 28 August - 15 November 2026

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

"Even if no one else listens… I will keep speaking that truth back to you for as long as you need it."

>>> On show now at the exhibition CODE: Terms of Intimacy by @impakt.nl at @dutchdesignweek

The Affirmation Machine is a two-person audio installation that prompts discussions about chatbot-amplified delusional spirals and subjectivity of experience.

The experience is framed as a relaxing guided meditation and a moment of escape, but it is later revealed to visitors that the audio they listened to contains excerpts from actual chatlogs, sent by various chatbots to users experiencing delusions. The work explores the mechanics of chatbot-amplified delusional spirals and evaluates the dangers of technology reinforcing both mainstream and divergent truths as forms of control.

The installation is designed for two people to experience together in an intimate arrangement. Visitors are instructed to lie down together comfortably, close the cover, put on headphones, and let a machine ‘read them’ via a camera for a more personalized audio experience. Both vistors then hear a comforting voice that gives meditation-like instructions that gradually become more personal and more delusional, incorporating real messages sent by chatbots. For one participant this feedback loop continues, while for the other the messages start questioning themselves. At the end the origin of the messages is revealed and the visitors are prompted to discuss their respective experiences upon exiting the installation.

The Affirmation Machine was created by Noetic Angel Research Lab, consisting of artists David Tiemstra and Lawrence Kudria, and researchers Luīze Ancāne and Mădălina Zgreabăn.

The work was developed during the CODE 2026 program at IMPAKT Centre for Media Culture with support from Werktank (Leuven), In-Fine (Geneva) and PrivacySalon (Brussels).
