SUMMARY:Virtual Beauty at Somerset House
DESCRIPTION:Featuring over 20 international artists\, Virtual Beauty will delve into the influence of artificial intelligence\, social media\, and virtual identities on self-image. \nThe exhibition will feature interactive installations and pioneering works that challenge traditional beauty standards. Highlights include ORLAN’s Omniprésence (1993)\, a groundbreaking performance in which the artist live-streamed her own facial aesthetic surgery to critique Western beauty ideals\, and Amalia Ulman’s Excellences & Perfections\, a powerful commentary on the authenticity of social media personas. Artificial intelligence’s perception of beauty will be examined through AI-generated portraits by Minnie Atairu\, Ben Cullen Williams\, and Isamaya Ffrench\, while Harriet Davey\, Frederik Heyman\, and Andrew Thomas Huang explore digital self-expression and the creation of avatars beyond human boundaries. \nDates: 23rd July – 28th September 2025.  \nFind out more
