NXT is the place where art and technology meet, and Still Processing feels totally contemporary. It's all about that simple question: how do you look at an image, and what does an algorithm actually see?
The expo begins playfully. A video fragment that changes just a little without you realizing it, a portrait that subtly switches emotions - you notice how quickly your brain assumes images to be true. It immediately puts you on edge: can you trust your own eyes?
After that, it becomes digital. AI models show how they learn from millions of pictures. The results are often crazy: faces with too many teeth, hands with six fingers. It looks funny, but it's a wake-up call at the same time. Machines do their best to imitate us, but always miss something human.
One of the audience favorites is an interactive installation. You input something yourself - a picture, a gesture, a word - and the machine spits out a completely new image. It's fascinating AND a little uncomfortable, because you realize how easily your input can be twisted.
What makes this expo strong is that it is not just about technology. It also dissects your own gaze. Artists show how your background, memories and culture determine what you see. In fact, there is never a neutral gaze - not with us and not with AI.
"Still Processing at the NXT Museum proves that your eyes can trick you just as well as an algorithm."
The atmosphere alternates between light and serious. You are laughing at a failed AI photo and a few minutes later you realize how vulnerable we are to manipulation. Exactly that balance is what makes it typical of NXT: you're entertained, but you also leave with food for thought.
And honestly: you don't walk away with answers here, but rather with more questions. That's the charm. It feels like your brain is still "recharging" while you're already outside.
