<Fragility in the Eye of the Beholder> is a moving image exhibition curated by Olesya Ilenok and Andrey Chugunov under the nomadic media art initiative _VOID Nomadic Gallery as part of the The Wrong Biennale 2025 – an internationally recognised platform for digital and post-internet art.
The project is supported by Creative Scotland.

Online Pavilion at voidnomadic.gallery
Physical Embassies:
12/11/2025 - 11/12/2025, 16 Collective’s shopfront window at 173 Trongate, G1 5HF, Glasgow

<Fragility in the Eye of the Beholder> drifts between shadow and glare, where the gaze of machines unsettles the ground beneath us. These works whisper of fiction and memory, bodies under watch, and identities refracted through invisible codes. Here, the act of looking becomes fragile—slipping between control and resistance, silence and revelation.


Through a series of 13 video works, the exhibition questions what it means to be seen in an age of machine vision when observation itself becomes a form of vulnerability.

The Wrong Biennale is an art biennale, not a commercial art fair or NFT marketplace. The event values pre-algorithm internet aesthetics and ensures exhibitions are accessible and one click away. All works submitted for the 7th edition of The Wrong Biennale may incorporate artificial intelligence at any stage of their creation process, whether as inspiration, as text, as a complementary tool, or as an integral part of the work’s development.

Participation is voluntary, free, and open to all. There are no submission, registration or exhibiting fees.
