Curated by Zoie Yung for Art Central 2026, the moving image programme “Reading the Room” examines how human intuition and algorithmic logic negotiate meaning in an age shaped by emergent technologies. Observing how artificial intelligence routinely processes vast datasets yet struggles to apprehend nuance, subtext, and tone, the programme reframes this technological shortfall as an analogue for the misalignments inherent in everyday communication, foregrounding the tensions, hesitations, and emotional undercurrents that contour our attempts to understand one another.
This programme is presented continually during the Fair.
