Sloptimismproject in development
Sloptimism explores the future of the internet through the phenomenon of AI slop: the mass of generatively created images appearing on our screens, on social media, and increasingly beyond them. Slop is no longer just a recognisable visual style but a mode of automated content production, one that raises numerous ethical, socio-cultural, and ecological questions.
The exhibition focuses on internet folklore, artificially created fantasies, the representation of food, and resistance to AI. The artist investigates how slop spreads, evolves, and spills from digital screens into physical spaces. Sloptimism views this phenomenon with a certain degree of ironic optimism, not so much as something positive, but as a fascination with the grotesque aesthetics of a synthetic future.
In collaboration with Ervin Nanco (
