PROMPTED PLANET
June Kitho & Oliver R. Meschnig
Opening | Friday, 16 October 2026, 19:00
Exhibition | 16–30 October 2026
📍 Fabrikraum, Vienna
Artificial intelligence is transforming our world. But at what cost?
While AI is celebrated as a technological breakthrough, its growing energy and resource consumption raises urgent ecological, social, and ethical questions.
Prompted Planet brings together artistic perspectives that critically examine the hidden material costs of digital technologies, the promises of technological progress, and our relationship with an increasingly AI-driven world.
Drawing on data on electricity consumption, electronic waste, and AI-generated emissions, the exhibition invites us to reconsider the relationship between innovation and responsibility. Some of the works are produced using AI systems, but always with an emphasis on self-reflection and transparency about their ecological footprint.
Can we celebrate technology as a solution when it's part of the problem?
Join us for the opening on 16 October at 19:00!

Thanks to everyone who joined the finissage of the exhibition Speculative Futures: A robotic meditation. It was a magical experience, made possible by the wonderful contribution of Kitana Project. And thanks again to the artist Joaquin Fargas, who created this special moment where we immerse ourselves in our thoughts to reflect on the future of humanity and intelligence, connecting with each other.

MEET the artist
This Sunday, Kitana Project joins Robotic Meditation for a special live performance at Fabrikraum.

Kitana Project represents a singular human organism and defines herself as an
alchemist of pain, transmuting arrhythmia, spinal conditions, and unspoken childhood
trauma into sound, art, performance, visuals, and poetry. Through heartbeat-driven
performances that blend instruments, irregular polyrhythms, movement, and words,
she creates complex multisensory immersive experiences shown to engage neural
networks, enhance emotional processing, and activate embodied awareness. Her work radiates unapologetic woman power and the art of survival, inviting audiences into new spaces and fractured times where vulnerability transforms into empowerment and inclusion becomes collective strength.

Meet the Artist:

Artist-engineer // Engineer-artist. Joaquín Fargas integrates the artistic, scientific and technological fields in his work.

Through science, he communicates the concepts and theories playfully and poetically. Through art, he teaches how to grasp the properties of nature and become aware of its care.

Since the beginning of the 2000s, he has been incorporating digital and communication technologies as well as robotics into his artistic practice. Crypto Art, Quantum computing, and Artificial intelligence are integrated into his works.

His production is centered on possible or utopian proposals related to life, its preservation, and the interrelationship between living beings and the future. In his work, he integrates biological materials and technological media aimed at breaking down barriers and generating possible dialogues and hybrid ecologies.

He was Executive Director of the UNESCO Network for the Popularization of Science and Technology for Latin America and the Caribbean. He is currently Director of the Center for Exploratory Art, Science and Technology in San Isidro, Argentina and Director of the Latin American Bioart Laboratory at the Inter-American Open University-UAI.

The works have been exhibited in museums, galleries, and biennials. Activities include site-specific installations, performances, workshops, and academic conferences on all continents, including the Antarctic.
