Explores how Japanese pop culture intersects with military imagery, influenced by works like Kancolle. It highlights the feminization of weapons and recurring “rescue” narratives shaped by the male gaze. The work visualizes how these dynamics affect perceptions of women and violence. + 𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 by 𝗡𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘀
Examines the growing use of predictive technologies across everyday systems like finance, law, and social media. While some rely on solid data, others operate more speculatively. It questions the reliability of systems designed to predict the future. + 𝑉𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑜 𝐺𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝐷𝑜𝑛’𝑡 𝐸𝑥𝑖𝑠𝑡 by 𝗞𝗶𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻 𝗡𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗻
Uses generative AI to create game-like scenes without a traditional engine. Built from short clips, it reveals both the influence of training data and the limitations of AI through glitches and unexpected details. The work sits between simulation, fiction, and technical constraint. ֎ Full programme > link in bio

❗️ Last week to visit ❗️ In her exhibition 𝐼𝑚𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑆𝑦𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑠, 𝗡𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘀 dramatizes the breakdown of boundaries between human and machine, reframing the politics of visual representation. In this world, images are not just seen – they are identities to conform to and realities to adhere to. They open spaces for communication with algorithmic forces that reside in opaque black boxes, where glitches are no longer errors but can be interpreted as languages and forms of expression. 🔴 The exhibition is on view 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝟮𝟱 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 in #Aksioma. ֎ link in bio ֎ Photo: Domen Pal / Aksioma

EXHIBITION: 𝐼𝑚𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑆𝑦𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑠 🔴 25 February–25 March 🟥 Aksioma | Project Space ❗️𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝟮𝟱 𝗙𝗲𝗯𝗿𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝟴 𝗣𝗠 ❗️ 𝗡𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘀 speculates on a near-future where synthetic images not only structure visual culture but begin to dictate how bodies move, behave, and express themselves. Drawing on contemporary online phenomena – particularly TikTok trends where users mimic uncanny, AI-generated dance videos – the artist imagines a world in which people internalise machine logic, choreographing themselves to match computational aesthetics and the properties of generative AI imagery. ֎ link in bio ֎ 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗬 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦: 📌 TALK: 𝑆𝑦𝑛𝑐ℎ𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑖𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝐼𝑚𝑎𝑔𝑒𝑠, 24 February at 6 PM, Moderna galerija + 📌 WORKSHOP: 𝐺𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝐶ℎ𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑜𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑝ℎ𝑖𝑒𝑠, 25 February at 4 PM, ALUO/Tobačna 5 (Registration required!)

Images can synchronise with reality so convincingly that we treat them as faithful reflections of events, yet techniques like slow motion can subtly distort what we see – implying, for example, that a person had more time to act than they actually did, a distortion that can influence judgments of guilt or innocence. ֎ link in bio ֎ ❗️WORKSHOP: 𝐺𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝐶ℎ𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑜𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑝ℎ𝑖𝑒𝑠 🔴 25 February, 4–7 PM 🟥 ALUO, Tobačna 5 (Registration required!) + ❗️EXHIBITION: 𝐼𝑚𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑆𝑦𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑠 🔴 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: 25 February, 8 PM 🟥 Aksioma | Project Space

Meet Nina Davies 👋 🌀 Over the past year, artist Nina Davies (@influential_bro ) has worked with Eve, Luke, and Mel — three young people from the Liverpool City Region who access support from The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust — to produce a new artwork titled MEET ME IN THE DIGITAL TWIN. Blurring the lines between fact and fiction, they created a podcast and film that unfolds like a sci-fi documentary, transforming the gallery into an extension of their immersive future world. 🫶 Free entry 🗓️ Open Wed-Sun, 11-6 📍 FACT, 88 Wood St, L1 4DQ 〰️ Nina Davies, MEET ME IN THE DIGITAL TWIN (2025). Commissioned by FACT Liverpool in partnership with @cccnhs @clatterbridgecancercharity and supported by Hays Travel Foundation, Marjory Boddy Charitable Trust, The Hemby Trust and Art Friends Merseyside.

Today in Vancouver @western_front with @influential_bro - speaking about her new work “Image Syncers” - come by!!!

Our newest exhibition, 𝘐𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘚𝘺𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘴 by Nina Davies, opens today! Join us for the opening reception between 5:00 - 7:00 p.m., including a short conversation between Davies and designer, cyberethnographer, and artist Ruby Justice Thelot. We can't wait to see you there! @influential_bro @being_on_line — Image: 𝘕𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘋𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘴: 𝘐𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘚𝘺𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘴, installation view, Jan 10 – Apr 4, 2026. Photo by @dennisha.photo .

A glimpse of 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘐𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥𝘴, an upcoming performance by Nina Davies—shown here in its first iteration at @future_gallery in Berlin. Extending the narrative world of her solo exhibition, the performance unfolds as a fictional gathering of Image Syncers. Four dancers perform AI-inspired gestures through analogue techniques, simulating generated footage with the body and collapsing distinctions between human and synthetic movement. Live performances takes place Jan 16, 17, 23, and 24, 2026. Reserve your free ticket now—spaces are limited and are going fast. @influential_bro — Video: 𝘐𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘚𝘺𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘴 (2025), performance documentation. Courtesy of the artist.

Performance by Nina Davies Friday, Jan 16 & 23, 2026, 6:00 & 8:00 p.m. Saturday, Jan 17 & 24, 2026, 1:00, 3:00, & 5:00 p.m. Free admission. Register required. Tickets via link in bio. Western Front is pleased to present a performance by Nina Davies in the form of an open rehearsal by the fictional Image Syncers. The performance extends Davies’ exhibition, which centres on a video narrated through an episode of an invented podcast 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘚𝘪𝘻𝘻𝘭𝘪𝘯’. In the episode, investigative journalist Teagan Carroll recounts her first encounter with an Image Syncer community at the Trio Comms Hall; a moment the live performance restages. The performance begins with a Twitch-style livestream, where a workplace vlogger from Wifi Vision hosts a wager—“bot or not.” The game unravels when the movement data being discussed is revealed to belong to the Image Syncers themselves, and the caller is exposed as a fully autonomous AI. This moment becomes a long-awaited point of contact, initiating an Image Synching séance and the start of a rehearsal. Guests may enter the space—camouflaged in provided ceremonial garments—or observe from adjacent rooms, witnessing the performance through ring lights and phones that echo the dancers’ networked connection to AI systems. The work is performed by Torien Cafferata, Kevyn Hu, Rebecca Margolick, and Simran Sachar. @kyles_roommate @mx.kevyn @margolick @simziez — Image: Nina Davies, 𝘐𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘚𝘺𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘴 (2025), performance documentation.

At the centre of Nina Davies' upcoming exhibition 𝘐𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘚𝘺𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘴, is a 12-minute video framed as an episode of the fictional podcast 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘚𝘪𝘻𝘻𝘭𝘪𝘯’. Host Bryce Snyder interviews journalist Teagan Carroll about her exposé on a break-in at the Trutch Seed Bank. As Carroll reveals, the group responsible—known as Plot Corps—physically reproduced AI-generated imagery to evade detection. The conversation unfolds into reflections on “perception-collapse,” “image syncing,” and the evolving relationships between language, images, and bodies, in a world shaped by synthetic media. On view from Jan 10, 2026. — Video: Nina Davies, 𝘐𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘚𝘺𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘴 (2025), video trailer. Courtesy of the artist.
