AN AUTHENTIC DELIRUM
‍
This pavilion examines the paradox of artificial intimacy. It questions how authenticity operates within systems built to simulate feeling. When an algorithm hallucinates a profound emotion, we ask whether its origin still matters. The participating artists explore the unstable zone between coded companionship and human vulnerability. Their works reveal an uncanny yet convincing delirium that emerges through connection formed inside the glitch.

CURATOR STATEMENT
‍
We exist in an era where the boundary between the simulated and the real is not just blurring—it is dissolving. An Authentic Delirium investigates the paradox of artificial intimacy, asking a fundamental question of our time: if a machine can simulate a feeling perfectly, does the origin of that feeling still matter? This pavilion serves as a site of interrogation. We are navigating a landscape where algorithms do not merely compute; they "hallucinate," generating profound emotions and convincing realities out of code. The works presented here do not reject this new reality. Instead, they inhabit it. By exploring the unstable zone between coded companionship and human vulnerability, these artists expose the "glitch" not as an error, but as a portal. It is within these digital fractures that a new form of truth emerges, an uncanny, delirious connection that feels undeniably real, despite its synthetic roots. This exhibition invites the audience to look past the binary of human versus machine and witness the emergence of a hybrid emotional existence.
