Data Dreams: AI and Art

Data Dreams
Data Dreams considers artificial intelligence and its impact on contemporary life through the work of 10 visionary artists.

Presented as part of the Sydney International Art Series 2025–26, Data Dreams is a groundbreaking Australian premiere that brings together boundary-pushing artists from across the globe. Together, their work examines how artificial intelligence is transforming the way we live, think and create.

This exhibition brings into focus a range of contemporary concerns, including the relationships between technology and power; how algorithms and datasets are influencing our worldviews and calling our perception of reality into question; and the immense environmental costs of the data economy.

Spanning a series of atmospheric, interconnected gallery spaces, Data Dreams invites audiences to imagine the future and reflect on the technologies already shaping it. Through immersive installations, AI-generated films, hallucinatory images and mind-expanding sculptures, the exhibition asks big questions: Who holds the power behind the algorithm? Can machines dream? What does it mean to be human in an age of AI?

The participating artists are Angie Abdilla, Kate Crawford and Vladan Joler, Fabien Giraud, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Christopher Kulendran Thomas, Agnieszka Kurant, Trevor Paglen, Hito Steyerl, and Anicka Yi.

Exclusive to Sydney. The exhibition is supported by the NSW Government through Destination NSW.
