ONLY THE BOTS KNOW THE TRUTH is part of the Speedshow Context Collapse in L.A.

Context Collapse revisits Aram Bartholl’s iconic Speed Show format, reactivating the internet café as a site for presenting digital art during LA Frieze Week 2026. Taking this historical net art framework as a point of departure, the exhibition explores what it means to be an artist in the age of AI and how the self is performed amid the rise of AI slop. 

Bringing together works that reflect on authorship, identity, and online presence, the project considers the internet café as both a cultural space and a conceptual lens for thinking about contemporary image production and digital artistic practice.

Curated by The Second-Guess & objkt.one.
