challenging the notion of a digital twin as a mirror of the physical object, these photographs depict an LCD advertising screen whose ribbon connections have melted and fused together—introducing chance-driven distortions that the computer powering the display remains wholly oblivious to. This unexpected glitch highlights a chasm between intended digital output and its manifestation in the physical world: the system keeps generating the same data, yet the screen transforms it into a strangely attractive, yet unintended, visual tapestry

this phenomenon resonates with broader questions about artificial intelligence and emergent behaviour. If an AI “sees” only its own outputs, without truly grasping their real-world impacts, it may veer from coherence into increasingly untraceable forms of distortion. Just as the overheated LCD inadvertently became part of the artwork, so too might recursive AI learning spin off into realms unrecognisable—operating beyond human awareness until the tangible consequences eventually surface. In doing so, it forces us to contemplate not just where the artwork actually resides, but also how fluid the boundary is between digital representations and their physical, often unpredictable, expressions
