Cultural Glitch -
Venice Architecture Biennale 2025
“A collection of postcards from Venice—but not quite the Venice we know. Images from a city distorted by algorithmic echo chambers and culturally stereotyped views.”
By feeding a text-to-image AI the same prompt in different languages, this project reveals how cultural biases shape visual outcomes. Each postcard becomes a distorted mirror, reflecting algorithmic assumptions, linguistic privilege, and embedded cultural stereotypes. What emerges is not Venice, but a version tuned to expectations—subtly shaped by language, and echoing familiar cultural filters.
Part of the Unfolded Pavillion curated by Volume Magazine
