The debut exhibition by Screenshot Fantasy brings together ten artists who turn their gaze toward California—a place that once promised freedom but quietly became a global technological cage.

Harkening back to idyllic dreams of computers, each artist has built their own AI model using open-source tools. These models flirt with liberation. They suggest an alternative to Silicon Valley’s increasingly walled, opaque networks of power.

Across collage, sound, video, and image, Hallucinating California explores the landscapes of data, myth, and fantasy.
