Step into a prophetic, sensory-charged future with Silicon Gods - Celebrating Automation & The Rise of AI 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.

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.

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."
