invisible forces

We invite artists, thinkers, and makers to submit works for an online pavilion as part of The Wrong Biennale, dedicated to exploring the forces that shape our world yet remain unseen.

The theme, Invisible Forces, unfolds at the intersection of absence and presence, perception and concealment. We are interested in works that investigate what hides behind structures—political, social, or technological—and how these hidden dimensions manifest as wrongs, dividers, or silent interactions. The theme is inspired by “The body without organs” used in the work of French philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. The concept describes the unregulated potential of a body—not necessarily human—without organizational structures imposed on its constituent parts, operating freely. The term, first used by French writer Antonin Artaud, appeared in his 1947 play To Have Done With the Judgment of God. Deleuze later adapted it in his 1969 book The Logic of Sense, and ambiguously expanded upon it in collaboration with Guattari in both volumes of their work Capitalism and Schizophrenia (1972 and 1980).

From the imperceptible operations of algorithms and surveillance to the invisible dynamics of emotion, fear, and desire, this pavilion asks:

• What remains unseen in our collective life, and why?
• How do hidden infrastructures—social codes, power structures, survival instincts—produce both “good” and “bad” outcomes, often beyond intention?
• What kinds of art can reveal, amplify, or re-encrypt the invisible?

We invite contributions across media—video, sound, text, code, interactive work, generative art, or hybrid practices. Works may address themes such as:

• Invisibility and hidden knowledge (the space in between, dividers, veiled realities)
• Wrongdoing, error, and unintended consequences (the operative image of the “wrong”)
• Post-capitalist imaginaries and the politics of desire
• Expanded sensing—touch, silence, affect, and the immaterial
• Minimalism, structural aesthetics, and conceptual abstraction as modes of revealing absence
• AI art as invisible labor: the aesthetics of training data, bias, and machine perception

In this context, AI art is not only a tool but a site of friction: a field where invisible infrastructures of datasets, models, and algorithms generate both meaning and opacity. AI systems extend human perception, but also obscure it—producing images, words, and interactions that are simultaneously authored and authorless, intimate and estranged.

We invite artists to critically engage with these conditions: to question the hidden hands of training data, the unseeable architectures of neural networks, the unintended poetics of machine error. AI art can reveal new “operative images,” exposing how machines see, mis-see, and interpolate our worlds. It can also serve as a rehearsal for new kinds of desire—post-capitalist, post-human, or radically minimal—where art is no longer about visibility alone but about negotiating invisibility itself.

This pavilion will be curated as an expanded field of invisibility: a space where wrongs, forces, and dividers are not solved but suspended—made perceptible through art.
