An AI-generated image falsely attributed to Austrian Expressionist Egon Schiele has gone viral on X, posted by the account @lovedropx. The image, which mimics Schiele's style and borrows the title of a real 1917 watercolor, has garnered hundreds of thousands of views. Art-world readers quickly pointed out anachronisms—such as the model's modern makeup, hair, and nails—and the image's six-fingered hand, as well as its lack of Schiele's characteristic provocativeness. This is not an isolated incident; Art Detective flagged similar AI fakes on Facebook in December, warning that undisclosed AI-generated images are becoming common.

The EducaImmagine festival returns to Rovereto with its 2026 edition titled "Miraggi" (Mirages), focusing on the complex relationship between media consumption and the perception of reality. Led by artistic director Luca Ferrario, the event gathers a diverse group of experts—including artists, designers, psychologists, and content creators—to address the challenges of digital literacy and the potential for images to distort or amplify truth in the modern age.
