The Vantaa Art Museum Artsi has launched "Empathy," a multifaceted exhibition exploring the psychological, social, and technological dimensions of emotional connection. The show features diverse works that examine how facial expressions and gestures communicate feelings, while also addressing the power dynamics of who is allowed to tell their story. A central highlight is Ali Akbar Mehta’s immersive installation, which utilizes an archive of 30,000 video clips and XR technology to analyze how digital algorithms and visual overexposure to violence affect human compassion.
FACT, the Liverpool-based cultural center, marks one year since opening Studio/Lab, a creative hub on its top floor designed to support emerging artists in Liverpool and the North West. Over 500 creatives have engaged with the space through workshops, masterclasses, residencies, and social events. The autumn program features new immersive installations by artists Helen Anna Flanagan and Gavin Gayagoy, developed during their residencies at Studio/Lab. Flanagan's film 'Burnt Toast' (2025) uses machine learning and archival materials to explore class and alienation, while Gayagoy's 'Doomscroll_1' (2025) examines digital isolation and compulsive smartphone use.
