Fragment of Artificial Future
An exhibition by Hamody Gannam
What happens when personal identity, collective memory, and technology collide in a world that feels both post-apocalyptic and eerily familiar?
Fragment of Artificial Intelligence explores a post-colonial, futuristic landscape where humanity has lost control of information, of artificial intelligence, and of its own story.
Through video works, pixel animation, sculptural objects, street signage, mirrors, and industrial imagery, the exhibition follows fragments of a character named Saif—part human, part robot, part memory—on a journey from Algeria to Palestine, searching for roots, identity, and truth.
The featured works include a cinematic-style trailer, a fictional commercial for an autonomous vehicle named “Handala”, a pixel loop of a donkey chasing a drone, canned olives and signage in Arabic, English, and Chinese, a mirror inscribed with “YOU ARE STILL ONLINE”, and more.
This is a world where the lines between human and machine, emotion and programming, culture and archive fracture, glitch, and reassemble.
Fragments of memory. Simulations of truth.
What do you remember—and what were you programmed to forget?
