Katherine Marie Scott Stewart

The Future Is Now confronts the instability of visual truth in the age of AI. Kate Scott Stewart’s mixed-media installation invites viewers to question their perception and slow down their consumption of images. Set against the familiar backdrop of Icelandic experience, the exhibition employs subtle ambiguity and cognitive dissonance to reveal the influence of AI imaging technology on memory, perception, and the concept of reality. What feels familiar soon feels uncertain. Rather than showcasing AI’s potential, the project exposes its persuasive power and the collective vulnerability it reveals. It warns of a future that has already arrived, where digital media quietly rewrites our memories in real-time.
