This AI-generated audiovisual installation constructs a speculative representation of TikTok's recommendation algorithm — not as code or data, but as an immersive experience defined by repetition, feedback loops, and continuous anticipation.
Drawing on ideas of surveillance capitalism, algorithmic environments, and computational spatiality — particularly the concepts of 'jankspace' and 'junkspace,' and the fragmented digital spatial logic discussed in Welcome to Jankspace, Babes — the work translates the logic of platform algorithms into moving image and spatial form: the way platforms like TikTok convert user behaviour into predictive data, optimise for engagement, and gradually narrow the range of what is seen. Rather than depicting the platform's interface, the work invites viewers inside the experience of being within a recommendation system — to feel its rhythms, its tendency to amplify certain political formats over others, and its capacity to transform expression into data.
Produced using generative AI tools, the work also reflects on its own making: AI-generated imagery as a medium that mirrors, in its own way, the logic of algorithmic amplification it sets out to critique.
