THE WORLD THROUGH AI
Frankfurt am Main
In the organizer's words:
From June 11 to September 20, 2026, the SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE FRANKFURT’s major summer exhibition will feature works of art that explore the cognitive, psychological, political, and ecological dimensions of artificial intelligence (AI). Its influence on visual culture and contemporary art practice is among the most visible phenomena in this field, which is dominated by opaque technical processes.
This comprehensive thematic exhibition will occupy both exhibition spaces at the SCHIRN and feature around 40 works from the past ten years to the present, including video installations, prints, sculptures, and photographs, among them several new works created specifically for the exhibition. The SCHIRN presents around 30 international artists, including Nora Al-Badri, Nouf Aljowaysir, Julian Charrière, Grégory Chatonsky, Kate Crawford & Vladan Joler, Holly Herndon & Mat Dryhurst, Agnieszka Kurant, Trevor Paglen, Hito Steyerl, Sasha Stiles, and Taller Estampa.
The exhibition explores a broad spectrum of themes, ranging from resources and environmental factors to questions of perception, machine vision, facial and emotional recognition, as well as imagination and memory. The works address numerous topics—ranging from microlabor to the establishment of alternative historiographies to possible visions of the future. Other aspects include so-called “AI slop” and “slopaganda” (the use of AI-generated images as a new form of political propaganda).
A series of “time capsules,” serving as a parallel narrative layer of the exhibition, connects the present with the past and embeds the current changes brought about by new technologies within a historical context.
Public tours:
Tue 5:00 p.m., Wed 4:00 p.m., Thu 7:00 p.m., Fri 5:00 p.m., Sat 3:00 p.m., Sun 2:00 p.m.
