Responding to TikTok trends of people mimicking artificially generated videos, Nina Davies’ new show Image Syncers explores possible futures where these generated choreographies disrupt visual economies and foster alternative modes of meaning production. Central to the show is a video narrated by a fictional podcast called What’s Sizzlin’. In this episode, host Bryce Snyder interviews journalist Teagan Carroll about her exposé on a break-in at the Trutch Seed Bank. Carroll reveals that the group, known as the Plot Corps, physically mimicked AI-generated imagery to evade detection. Their conversation expands into broader themes of ‘perception-collapse,’ ‘Image Syncing,’ and how language, images, and even bodies are evolving in a world dominated by synthetic media.
The show features unaltered images of characters from the fictional subcultures explored in the film, alongside costumes from the video, accompanied by holograms that serve as apparitions of the fictional owners of these garments.
