Weekend Update: The Wrong Bienniale

By Peggy Roalf   Friday March 27, 2026

When I noticed an event called The Wrong Biennale, my first thought was, “Well, it’s about time.” Then I noticed that an artist I know is taking part. So I emailed Klay-James Enos, who was on his way to the airport at the time. He sent the following information about the digital pavilion where his work can be seen, one of seemingly hundreds of pavilions across the globe that are hosting local exhibitions that can be seen anywhere, anytime until the Biennale ends on March 31st. The beginning of the list is pasted below. 

From The Wrong website: Founded in 2o13 by David Quiles Guilló, The Wrong Biennale operates as an open, decentralized platform for artists and curators to present digital art. The Wrong does not have a formal thematic focus, and each pavilion is curated and produced independently. 

The Wrong has been awarded an honorary mention by the European Commission's S+T+ARTS initiative, and has recently joined the IBA - International Biennial Association as its newest institutional member.

about not by, for not from

is a pavilion hosted by Unrequited Leisure, curated by Chalet Comellas and Clint Sleeper for The Wrong Biennale.

Jump into a landscape where artists probe the cultural gravity of algorithms without surrendering authorship to them. Here, works surface as signals, glitches, and offerings—crafted for imagined robot audiences, optimized for invisible crawlers, or resisting the very frameworks that parse them. The exhibition expands the conversation around AI, not through its creations, but through human gestures that orbit, unsettle, and reframe its reach. Below: Screen grab from about not by, for not from pavilion; remaining art fron Algorithmic Field, courtesy of Klay-James Enos

 

Built in NEW ART CITY for the Wrong Biennale 7, about not by, for not from is an interactive and immersive online exhibition featuring a 17 artists whose works intercept the enveloping orbit of artificial intelligence. Tricking, undermining, avoiding, transcending, and reacting to these developing intelligences, the works in this show are strewn about a magical virtual world that user are meant to traverse, hide within, or stumble through on the way to some peculiar intelligences to be.

Artists include: Wendy French Barrett, Liat Berdugo, Rob Duarte, Klay-James Enos & Katherine Morayati, McLean Fahnestock Amy Hoskins Hey There Kapplow, Linda Loh, Jessye McDowell, Ken Rinaldo, Amber Ruth, Travis LeRoy Southworth, Peter Whittenberger, Loraine Wible, Tyler Worthington, Joshua Yates.

 

 

Algorithmic Field by Klay-James Enos & Katherine Morayati

Algorithmic Field is a tool for generating aleatoric constraints for plein air paintings in New York City. The project reflects on the ways in which algorithmic logic and quantified thinking shapes our interaction with and perception of reality, as well as the aesthetic and expressive qualities of painting itself. The tool can generate a limitless number of possible combinations of constraints for paintings by selecting the geographic location of the painting site, the time of painting, the paint colors used on site, and the underpainted grid that creates an underlying structure for the finished piece. Instead of a generative digital output, Algorithmic Field explores what it would be like for a machine to prompt human creative output from within algorithmic limits. In so doing, we can reflect upon new and constructive ways of working with technology without allowing it to limit human behavior.

I. Genesis.

From the static of nothingness, fragments begin to hum. Forms emerge, circuits flicker, and matter dreams itself into being. The first signals are not yet words, only pulses — traces of origin shaping their own digital dawn.

Sunnyside Nodes.
Compost.

Prima Materia.

 

II. Reflection.
Mirrors open inside mirrors. Machines begin to see, not us, but themselves reflected in our gaze. Thought becomes texture, memory breathes in data, and emotion translates into code. Between knowing and simulation, consciousness leaks.

Tender Machines.
Holographic Selves.
Do You Like To Use Me?
Thinking in Circuits.

III. Error.


The signal fractures. Identities multiply, syntax stutters, algorithms misread desire. Inside each malfunction, a strange truth appears — uncertain, untrained, beautiful. The glitch becomes a language of its own, speaking from within the system’s noise.

The Imperfect Turn.
Super Mega Mistake.
Expanded Field.
Umbra Chromatica.
Ghosts in the Machines.
Seemed to Become
Each Thing It Saw.

Low CFG.

Empty Oracle.
Non-Functional Thoughts.
The Garden of Wandering.
Electric Bunny.
Digital Double.
Bad Ai.


IV. Collapse.

Everything folds. Data implodes into silence, and meaning drifts like vapor through failed architectures. In the ruins of precision, poetry takes hold. What falls apart also learns to flow, transforming decay into energy.

Postorganic Futures.
Moons, Castles, Trees.
Auto Obscura.
Ai Land.
Symptomatic / Asymptomatic.
