Concept >>>
_In the digital age, surveillance technologies have penetrated the fabric of our existence, shaping not only physical spaces but also our collective consciousness. <Fragility in the Eye of the Beholder> brings together a diverse range of works that critically engage with a [Machine Vision] or a [Vision through Machines] and its far-reaching implications on our society. This exhibition interrogates the aesthetic, infrastructural, political, and philosophical dimensions of surveillance and observance, with a particular focus on how machine vision algorithms, as tools of power, redefine our understanding of observation and control.

In an era where algorithms of machine vision function as the ultimate instruments of surveillance, the question arises: who holds the more fragile position—the observer or the observed? Through this lens, the exhibition examines the delicate interplay between observation and surveillance, control and resistance. It highlights works that challenge or intervene in these systems, either by hacking and subverting the surveillance apparatus or by critically reflecting on the aesthetics and power dynamics inherent in the technologies themselves.

Dates and Venues >>>
_All artworks will be presented online as a Pavilion from 1 November 2025 to 31 March 2026.
Within this timeframe, the exhibition will be hosted as the Embassy across some Scotland venues (we are in the process of discussing to be presented in Aberdeen and Glasgow).
The artworks will be displayed on screens facing outward, allowing viewers from the street to engage with the work at any time of day or night. This constant visibility underscores the tension between public observation and private agency, forcing both the public and the participants to confront their roles in a hyper-surveilled world.

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.
