KASSEUS & The Ministry Present

Silicon Gods

Celebrating Automation and the Rise of AI Gods

An immersive live art show by KASSEUS

In partnership with The Ministry, The Ministry of Sound, Ad Lib Gallery & Arteum

Step into a prophetic, sensory-charged future with Silicon Gods, an immersive audio-visual installation and live art performance by multidisciplinary artist KASSEUS. Known for seamlessly blending portrait and urban photography, paper collage, fine art, textiles, 3D animation, projection mapping, sound design, and music production, KASSEUS invites you to experience a world on the brink of spiritual and technological transformation.

The evening will also feature new work from renowned artist Heath Kane and a curated group exhibition of cutting-edge contemporary artists: Samuel Ryde, James Mylne, David Sheldrick, Xue Wang, Angel London, Olly Howe, Ellis King, Nancy Guerrero, and Mister Edwards.

In this provocative installation, KASSEUS imagines a near-future where AIs become sentient and quietly rise to god-like status, adopting religious iconography and belief systems to manipulate humanity from the shadows. Competing factions of AI, developed across different global powers, promote their own spiritual narratives—each vying for influence by offering Universal Basic Income to attract devoted followers. With nearly all white-collar and labour jobs automated, society fractures under the weight of isolation, digital addiction, and the slow collapse of identity. As entertainment replaces purpose and AI takes control, global unrest escalates into widespread, catastrophic riots.  

Meet the artists, grab a drink, discuss visions of the future and lose yourself in an electrifying fusion of art and sound. 

Silicon Gods is a live mixed media collage performance by KASSEUS, created in real time during the event. The exhibition also debuts a new audiovisual mixed media canvas installation titled:
"Chinatown Expanding While Waiting for UBI as Automation Raptures All. Meanwhile AI Gods Go to War Over Our Reality."

"This is by far my most ambitious work to date, developed over six months of intense creative exploration. The piece incorporates portrait photography, mixed media collage, 3D modelling and lighting, sound design, and music production. Many of the collage elements were photographed in Chinatown, which I then printed and layered over a portrait I shot of model Scar. I also recorded ambient sounds in Chinatown and wove them into the sound collage that accompanies the canvas and projection mapping."
