Gallery Institute is proud to present People Watching, a pavilion of the 7th edition of The Wrong Digital Art Biennale.
People Watching features work by over 50 artists, with additional pieces being added throughout the duration of the exhibition. All artworks are created from fragments of portraits found on Unsplash.com, a free stock photography website. The original photographers are credited as the artists of the new fragmented artwork, which are titled and captioned using text found accompanying the original photograph or from text written by the original photographers anywhere else on the internet.
None of the artists are aware of their participation in this exhibition.
People Watching is about observation, privacy, intimacy, trust, artistic intent, curation, the visual language of marketing, and loneliness.
Exhibition runs from November 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026 alongside the rest of The Wrong Biennale.
"Images [have reached] a point where the distance between them and their referent has become so large that they've left the world of their referent entirely... so much of what you see, and the anti-expertise, is a desire to return to what is close — a return to seeing is believing." - Gideon Jacobs on Media, Politics, and Ketaphysics (2025 NM Talkcore)
