When works of art cease to be defined as static arrangements of objects, unfolding instead through a continuous process of flux, is the audience obliged to remain a mere spectator? Indeed, when the audience is no longer just passively viewing the work, but begins to shape its outcome and direction.—becoming a form of participation—within this state of flux, might we be able to coexist with the artwork, thereby generating a mutual, collective meaning?

With these questions in mind, NTCAM Screening — In the Flux of Us: The Art of Algorithms, curated by Volume DAO, reimagines the museum’s entrance space and LED screen as a site for artistic emergence. By transforming the threshold between arrival and departure, a simple passageway becomes a fertile ground for experimentation, where the meanings of such artworks might begin to reveal themselves. The audience is invited to become one of the triggers in the work’s generation. By using their mobile phones to adjust the parameters of the piece, the work is no longer simply displayed or viewed, but gradually unfolds and takes shape through the process of participation.

The 2026 NTCAM Screening invites five artists: Aluan Wang, Chih-Yu Chen, Aleksandra Jovanić, Kazuhiro Tanimoto, and Jinyao Lin. Through their diverse generative and algorithmic practices, they explore aesthetic possibilities that are at once complex and organic, emerging at the point between order and chaos. The works encompass simulations of painterly techniques, a reimagining of the relationships between artist, artwork, and audience, and reflections on the intertwining of the artificial and the natural.

Here, each artwork marks the starting point of an evolving event, a dynamic narrative that unfolds through each encounter. Within the operational contours sketched by algorithms, and at the intersection of viewing and participation, the works transform through the interplay of time, rules, and real-time audience interaction. Moments of poetic resonance emerge, collectively shaping a creative space defined by the vitality and tension of the present moment, while opening new pathways toward different modes of perception and imagination.
