Rachel Maclean: They've Got Your Eyes

 

They’ve Got Your Eyes is a major new commission and free exhibition by Scottish artist Academician Rachel Maclean RSA (Elect), featuring the world premiere of a film created using AI models trained on her own image and artistic archive. Blending sculpture, generative imagery and Rachel’s signature storytelling, the exhibition invites you into a vivid, uncanny world where authorship and identity begin to slip. Drawing parallels between today's AI boom and the Victorian era's fascination with invention and discovery, They've Got Your Eyes asks us to interrogate the motivations behind the pursuit of artificial intelligence and to examine how ego shapes the development of technology. Glowing sculptures and artefacts dripping with slime mix science aesthetics with Celtic faerie folklore to invite us into this playful, mesmerising and unsettling world. They’ve Got Your Eyes asks us to look closely at the technologies that mirror us back and consider who is really shaping creativity in an age of machinest).

 

Co-commissioned by FACT Liverpool and Sonica Glasgow with support from 1646, The Hague. Supported by the Scottish Government’s Festivals Expo Fund and Creative Scotland. Special thanks to Braid UK, Edinburgh EPCC, and Newcastle University NUAcT for their support.
