2026 Ask a Question Project: I or AI? “Agent’s Window”—A Solo Exhibition by Zhang Shuwei
Chinese original:
2026 問問題計畫 I or AI？「代理之窗 Agent’s Window」張書瑋個展
The Hong Foundation's Question Project poses one question each year and asks an artist to answer it with a new work. The 2026 question is 'I or AI?', answered by Chang Shu-wei's Agent's Window. The work asks whether people hand their attention to large AI systems by apparent choice but without a real alternative, helping tune them for free with every interaction, or whether people and the systems have already become indistinguishable. At the Hong Foundation.

01About
An installation is not a set of separate artworks but one whole experience, centred on how the viewer perceives it. The artist Ilya Kabakov said that the main actor in the total installation, the centre toward which everything is addressed, is the viewer. Forerunners include Kurt Schwitters' Merzbau and the “environments” Allan Kaprow made from about 1957; from the 1960s installation became a major strand of modern art. In Taipei, Chen Chao-hua uses altered compressors and condensing techniques so that frost forms and melts again and again in the gallery, and in When Tomorrow is Forgotten at MOCA Taipei, one artist, drawing on their own care work, brings the spaces, objects, and traces of labour from care settings into the exhibition. A label reading “dimensions variable” means the size of the work changes with the space it is shown in.
02In the gallery
Pause at the entrance to take in the whole space before you step in; once inside, notice what changes as you move.

03Notes
The parts of an installation add up to one experience, and what matters is how you perceive it.
