Western Front is pleased to present Image Syncers, a solo exhibition by Canadian-British artist Nina Davies. The exhibition responds to current TikTok trends in which people mimic artificially generated videos, with Davies reimagining this choreographic phenomenon as a tool to disrupt visual economies and open up alternative modes of meaning-making.

At the centre of the exhibition is a 12-minute video framed as an episode of the fictional podcast What’s Sizzlin’. In it, host Bryce Snyder interviews journalist Teagan Carroll about her exposé on a break-in at the Trutch Seed Bank. Carroll reveals that the group responsible, known as the Plot Corps, physically reproduced AI-generated imagery to evade detection. Their discussion expands into broader reflections on “perception-collapse,” “image syncing,” and the evolving relationships between language, images, and bodies, in a world shaped by synthetic media.

Accompanying the video are sculptural works that expand the narrative world. A series of holographic forms appear as spectral stand-ins for the fictional Image Syncers, while transparent, vitrine-like backpacks display their personal belongings. These include smartphones showing images and footage of performances that evoke AI-generated scenes, yet were created entirely through analogue means—costumes, props, makeup, and lighting—as well as the “cursed hands” used by the characters to interface with generated worlds or manipulate real-world events.
