Machine Dazzle’s debut New York gallery exhibition, Obsession and Evidence, opens January 1st at Gallery AP Space in Chelsea. This show reimagines discarded materials as fossilized artifacts, exploring the relationship between waste and art. Accompanied by AI-generated imagery, the works prompt viewers to consider how artificial materials transition from lifelessness to life and reflect on the abundance of non-biodegradable garbage in our world. The exhibition runs through January 15th, with the gallery open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 AM to 6 PM.
