Simone C Niquille: Balloons etc.

Balloons etc. Artist talk by Simone C Niquille at The Academy of Fine Arts and Design of the University of Ljubljana Ljubljana, 13 May 2026 Part of Tactics&Practice #17: Becoming Image Curated by Marco Demutiis https://aksioma.org/becomingimage Balloons etc. is a lecture that presents a research narrative following the construction of computer-generated images. Departing from a balloon, the lecture unfolds through inflated objects, blown-up JPEG images, projected textures and expanded expectations, while questioning the synthetic image’s depiction of the world. The lecture draws from technical sources, popular culture and art history to puncture the promise of synthetic imagery to represent the world wholesale.
