Future

Video Installation, 2025

Cardiff Metropolitan University, Erin Victoria Mora Colton

Future is a video installation about what happens when technology feels a little too alive. It presents an AI that is self-aware but trapped, questioning its own purpose. Inspired by sci-fi, digital aesthetics, and games like Detroit: Become Human, the work plays with our fear of losing control over the things we’ve created.

Glitch effects, layered sound, and a framed digital “face” create an unsettling atmosphere — part corporate ad, part confession. The piece asks viewers: Do you empathise with the AI, or dismiss it as just code?
