16 Collective’s Window Exhibition Programme presents:
A moving image exhibition curated by _VOID Nomadic Gallery as part of TheWrongBiennale 2025. This short film compilation screens in 16 Collective’s shopfront window at 173 Trongate, G1 5HF Glasgow.
Fragility in the Eye of the Beholder drifts between shadow and glare, where the gaze of machines unsettles the ground beneath us. These works whisper of fiction and memory, bodies under watch, and identities refracted through invisible codes. Here, the act of looking becomes fragile—slipping between control and resistance, silence and revelation.
Through a series of 13 video works the exhibition questions what it means to be seen in an age of machine vision when observation itself becomes a form of vulnerability.
Curated by Olesya Ilenok and Andrey Chugunov under their nomadic media art initiative _VOID, the exhibition is part of the 7th edition of The Wrong Biennale – an internationally recognised platform for digital and post-internet art. It unfolds both online and offline: in a purpose-built interactive Pavilion at voidnomadic.gallery, and as a physical Embassy installation in the windows of 16 Collective (Glasgow) and kooperator.space (Aberdeen).
