Digitalism is more than an exhibition—it is defining a moment in art history.
By presenting some of the best artists (‘digitalists’) working at the forefront of art and technology today, we are formally recognising Digitalism as a distinct new art movement, sitting alongside
the very best of Modern British and Contemporary traditional art at the British Art Fair.
This exhibition serves as a critical platform to contextualise and codify Digitalism, providing a narrative that traces its development and highlights its cultural significance. Through this exhibition, we aim to cement Digitalism’s place within the broader history of art, ensuring that its contributions are acknowledged and studied for generations to come.

Cecilie Waagner Falkenstrøm is an award-winning artist who has been pioneering the use of artificial intelligence (such as LLM, GPT), since 2016. Her works have been exhibited at Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A) and the Wellcome Collection. Notably, she created the first-ever AI and blockchain
artwork in space aboard NASA’s part of the International Space Station. Her contributions to digital art have been recognized by major media outlets like Forbes and the New York Times. Falkenstrøm has received numerous global awards, including the Lumen Prize for Digital Art in 2017 and 2021, an Honorary Mention from Prix Ars Electronica in 2023, and the TECHNE Award from the British Arts and Humanities Research Council. She studied
Fine Art at University of the Arts London and Royal College of Art in London.

Falkenstrøm will present a 2x3 metre Jacquard- woven cotton and viscose wall-hanging titled I See It, So You Don’t Have To. The visuals for this piece are generated using artificial intelligence (ML, diffusion).

The work brings our attention to the often-overlooked contributions of low-income human labour in the tech industry, specifically focusing on the lived experiences of micro workers who face mental health issues inherent in the AI development labour practices. By combining machine learning with Jacquard weaving the work explores the history of industrialised labour practices and their connection with contemporary digital data labour as both pertain to health of workers. The artwork investigates how AI work echoes labour dynamics of the 1st industrial revolution, where textile workers endured harsh conditions to ensure Jacquard weaving machines never stopped spinning.

Falkenstrøm will also show the AI-generated video work Algorithmic Kaleidoscope. The work is an algorithmically generated surrealistic mental landscape that emerges from the latent space of a neural network. Colourful and mesmerising patterns unfold as if as seen through the mind of the machine.
