Model Collapse features cyber sculptures that resist dominant narratives tied to AI’s creation, each telling stories of mystification, gender bias, non-Western algorithmic traditions, ecological impact, and hidden labor. Visitors engage with the sculptures by typing a query to a central AI interface. A local language model locates the query in the digital realm, awakening the relevant sculpture to share knowledge on the self-consuming origins of AI, often rooted in resource and data extraction.
