✻ OPEN CALL FOR ARTWORKS ✻
Deadline: August.31.2025
The Chatroom & The Doll House is an online pavilion that will be part of the 7th edition of ↗ The Wrong, a globally renowned, decentralized digital art biennial celebrated for its inclusivity, experimentation, and cultural impact. This edition explores AI’s transformative impact on culture through art. In addition to its online presence, the pavilion will also take physical form through projections and installations in Berlin.
We’re looking for:
artists – writers – coders – performers – media manipulators – digital archeologists – gnostics – mythographers & worldbuilders
Video work is prioritised for the online exhibition while we prefer sculptural work for the physical show, but feel free to scale the boundaries of these media. We encourage the use of outdated, rudimentary, or flawed AI models (Markov chains, GANs, early GPTs, Stable Diffusion v1, etc).
Note that your work doesn’t have to use AI; it can also reflect on it, resist it, or ignore it entirely.
The selected works will be exhibited as part of 'The Chat Room and The Doll House', an online and physical exhibition exploring:
(unseen forces)
(living space)
(desire)
(history)
Some questions your submission could answer:
✻ What moves the puppet?
✻ Who lives in the dollhouse, who watches from the chatroom?
✻ What does the interface desire? What fetishes does the machine consume?
✻ What neo myths are forming behind the screen?
You can send us short films but also:
The exhibition will exist both online and as a physical event in Berlin, connecting the dollhouse to the chatroom.
About our curatorial framework
✻ The Chat Room is the screen: an always-on, anonymous space where identity is shaped.
Between these two spaces, we offer something to consume, almost fetish-like, with actors performing and gooners watching. Now, a new gooning entity has been multiplying online: AI.
Note on the Gooning Ideology of AI models:
The more an AI learns, the more its failures become interesting, its missteps more revealing than its perfections. Like a gooner lost in the algorithmic abyss, AI is caught in a cycle of near-attainment, forever denied the final, satisfying release.
