Presented as part of the Sydney International Art Series 2025–26, Data Dreams is a ground-breaking Australian premiere that brings together boundary-pushing artists from across the globe. Together, their work examines how artificial intelligence is transforming the way we live, think and create.

This exhibition brings into focus a range of contemporary concerns, including the relationships between technology and power; how algorithms and datasets are influencing our worldviews and calling our perception of reality into question; and the immense environmental costs of the data economy.

Through immersive installations, AI-generated films, hallucinatory images and mind-expanding sculptures, the exhibition asks big questions: Who holds the power behind the algorithm? Can machines dream? What does it mean to be human in an age of AI?
