Cai Guo Jie’s Discrepancies of Error (2025) is on view at Ox Warehouse, as part of the group exhibition Future in the Making—Technology and Moving Image Art Exhibition.
Future in the Making—Technology and Moving Image Art Exhibition
Exhibition period: 1 June - 30 June 2026
Venue: Former Municipal Cattle Stable (Intersection of Avenida do Coronel Mesquita and Avenida Almirante Lacerda, Macau)
The Future in the Making—Technology and Moving Image Art Exhibition is an artistic practice deeply rooted in Macau’s unique local context of "fusion, liminality, and flux". Confronted with the disciplinary logic of artificial intelligence algorithms that attempt to smooth out individual experience and dissolve contingency , this exhibition brings together the creative works of nine artists (or groups) to offer a rational demystification and artistic deconstruction of technocentrism.
The core philosophy of the exhibition reveals that any deterministic system inherently produces logical gaps, errors, and uncertainties. These "error zones", dismissed by algorithms as invalid, are precisely the critical spaces where individuals can reshape their sense of agency, break free from technological discipline, and unlock the diverse, pluralistic possibilities of the future. Spanning multiple dimensions—including institutional deconstruction, the inscription of memory, and the dialectics of civilization —the participating works break through media barriers. By utilizing image generation, algorithmic programming, and light-based installations, they link digital virtuality with material reality to engage in a systematic academic reflection on AI technological civilization.

This work continues the artist's Half-Field Plan, using institutional loopholes and boundary gaps as intervention points to establish "Discrepancies of error" through VR and temporary spatial installations. The work critiques how human subjectivity and ambiguous zones are compressed and forgotten under modern control systems, and attempts to create a "rematerialized free space" within these loopholes, initiating a rethinking of power, desire, and choice.
