Art can help us in this regard. Hence, the exhibition \u2018Threats and Promises\u2019. Here, art functions as a framework, a mirror, a playing field and an early-warning system. The focus is on themes such as man and machine, the body and data, the public sphere and authorship, history and interconnections, as well as the ambivalence between fascination, ideology and power. The participating artists explore questions of bias, surveillance, control, ethics, delegation, participation and imagination, examining both the opportunities and the risks of algorithmic systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artists<br>Die Aschenbrecher, Adamu-Umar Faruq, Alexander F\u00f6llenz, Begi Guggenheim, Olivier H\u00f6lz, Lukas Lex, The Meaningful Noise Collective, Daniel Mazanik, Anna Pelz, Sebastian Pfeifhofer, Sebastian Pirch, Philipp Renda, Bettina Sch\u00fclke, Annette Tesarek, Norbert Unfug, Ana Vollwesen, Moritz Wildburger and The Future Foundation &amp; Aron Cserveny<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AI \u2013 Threats and Promises<\/strong><br>01.07.2026 \u2013 26.08.2026<br>AG18 Gallery<br>Annagasse 18, 1010 Vienna<br><a href=\"https:\/\/ag18gallery.com\">https:\/\/ag18gallery.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>01.07.2026 \u2013 26.08.2026 There is no escaping so-called \u2018artificial intelligence\u2019 (AI).
