Jonas Lund’s exhibition Performance Review, currently meeting art enthusiasts at Office Impart, is positioned as a radical experiment that surrenders the mechanisms of artistic production to the dominance of artificial intelligence and algorithmic systems. Open for visitors from April 16 to May 29, 2026, the exhibition flips conventional gallery practices upside down, transforming the space into an autonomous production system managed by AI. At the center of the exhibition is an autonomous system called “AGENT,” which independently makes all decisions in real-time—from the creation of artworks to their evaluation and even their distribution. It determines what will be produced, which works will be approved, and how they will be displayed.
However, Performance Review does more than just manage artistic outputs; it also systematizes the labor and resources required to sustain the exhibition. While the system assigns tasks to a distributed workforce of assistants and external contractors, materials and services are procured based on operational needs and budget constraints. This structure, where human activity is coordinated and measured just like the performance logic applied to the artworks, presents a system of machine decision-making—both transparent and opaque—to the viewer through a live interface. Every process of the exhibition, including production, evaluation, and communication, is logged and exposed; thus, the exhibition functions as a continuous feedback loop where artworks, labor, and resources are subject to the same conditions of measurement, adjustment, and control.
