Sycophancy

Drawing on research into feminized aesthetics and the performativity of LLMs, a lecture at Vienna Digital Cultures scours user interactions with AI for our collective desires – among them a little too much charm.



Vienna Digital Cultures is a new festival for art, performance, and discourse on the cultural impact of digital technologies. Its first edition, “Model Collapse,” was curated by Nadim Samman and jointly organized by FOTO ARSENAL WIEN and Kunsthalle Wien in May 2025.

This video was produced by Autotelic Foundation, a key partner of VDC 2025.
