Not the Only One

2018

Not The Only One (N'TOO) is the multigenerational memoir of the artist’s black American family told from the “mind” of an artificial intelligence (AI) of evolving intellect. It is a voice-interactive AI entity designed, trained, and aligned with the needs and ideals of black and brown people who are drastically underrepresented in the tech sector. This entity is being developed to reflect, and be empowered to pursue the goals of its community through machine learning, a subfield of computer science that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed, creating a new kind of automated archive. Not only does N’TOO look like and emanate data derived from the position of blackness, it will also be designed and programmed by us.

Voyager

2026

“Voyager” is an AI-aided, one-person-at-a-time immersive hypnosis installation by Trevor Paglen, presented at Palazzo Diedo, Venice, by Berggruen Arts & Culture. The work is part of a group exhibition opening concurrently with the Venice Biennale. Visitors enter one at a time, sign a liability waiver, and step into a curtained bay. Inside, biometric sensors and an AI voice guide them through a personalized 25-minute hypnosis session. The system adapts in real time: the AI listens to the participant’s spoken responses, monitors heart-rate feedback, and selects narrative pathways accordingly.

P for Power

2026

Ho Tzu Nyen adds a new entry to his ongoing Critical Dictionary of Southeast Asia. Ho delves into diverse notions of power—from political and religious authority to natural and evolutionary force—while tracing their entanglements with democracy, history, technological development, capitalism, and colonialism. Ho approaches Power as he does Time: an ungraspable, universal concept that persistently resists stable definition.

The video installation unfolds across 30 real-time edited chapters. Drawing on found footage from the internet, each chapter is gradually transformed over the course of the exhibition through an Artificial Intelligence (AI) video-generation process. Every chapter is structured around a dialogue between the artist and an AI chatbot, probing what power might be.

Beginning with animist conceptions of power found across Southeast Asian cultures, the work is also deeply informed by Baruch Spinoza’s understanding of power—not as domination or superiority, but as the capacity to affect and to be affected. Amplified through sensitivity and sustained through persistence, power appears here as something that continues to vibrate across time, intensifying through what it touches. As Ho puts it: “Power not as domination, but as endurance, consistency, coherence over temporal extension.”

The Feral - Epoch 1

2025 - 2026

A one thousand years long film fully shot and edited by an artificial intelligence. 32 generations of humans. A transformed landscape. A multitude of authors. Broadcast live from 2024 to 3024.

The Feral is a film shot over the course of the next 1000 years. Borrowing its title from zoological terminology which refers to any captive animal that has become wild again as ‘feral’, this project aims to induce a similar de-domestication process within ourselves and our world. The Feral is a collective artwork at the scale of a landscape - a place of learning for an artificial intelligence in charge of creating this film. This environment, as it grows, is progressively populated and transformed by the interventions of artists invited to feed its learning, as many co-authors of this «concrete fiction» for the next 1000 years. The Feral is a social experiment. A group of humans are engaged to take part in it all throughout their lifetime as actors of the film and material support for the training of the artificial intelligence. The experiment is meant to continue with the participants’ descendance over 32 generations (1000 years).
