LIU Zihan “When Error Appears”

OPEN SITE 11 | Open Call Program【Exhibition】

This installation employs moving images, monitors, soil, and construction materials to make visible the labor that goes into advertising, construction, and AI image generation. Just as advertising conceals production processes and presents only images designed to encourage consumption, and scaffolding and signs of labor disappear from a completed building, AI image generation likewise depends on invisible labor such as collecting, sorting, and reviewing data. When labor and bodies that have been rendered invisible emerge through gaps in the systems that support society or cracks in finished surfaces, an “error” appears.
