an authentic delirium spira9 art × the wrong biennale
An Authentic Delirium is a hybrid experimental exhibition curated by Jes Chen and produced by SPIRA9 ART, presented as an official Embassy of The Wrong Biennale 7th Edition (2025–2026).
This project examines the paradox of artificial intimacy and questions how authenticity operates within systems designed to simulate feeling. When an algorithm appears to hallucinate profound emotion, we ask a fundamental question of our time: does origin still matter?
Rather than positioning technology as deceptive or neutral, An Authentic Delirium focuses on moments where emotional experience feels undeniably real—precisely because of its artificial construction. Authenticity is approached not as sincerity or truth, but as a fragile state produced through instability, mediation, and emotional excess.
The exhibition explores the unstable zone between coded companionship and human vulnerability, revealing an uncanny yet convincing delirium that emerges through connections formed inside the glitch.
