The Art of Artificiality | Remixing Images, Rewriting Worlds

Moons, Castles, Trees is an international open call for visual work in still image form. Photography, drawing, AI composites, visual poetry, print scans, generative noise, layered textures, abstract signals. If it can be submitted as a JPEG or PNG, it belongs here.

What’s This About?

This open call is part of the 2025–2026 edition of The Wrong Biennale, a global network of digital, physical, and hybrid exhibitions that has hosted experimental art since 2013.

This is less about platforms and more about material. Images that echo, glitch, vanish, and return. Texts that refuse resolution. Marks that speak in fragments.

Start With a Glitch

The Chronotopes Image Pack contains 10 high-resolution digital “negatives.” These are images that bent, failed, bled, or broke.

You are free to use them. Remix them. Print and scan them. Layer, quote, or distort them. Break them open.

Also available is the curatorial text The Art of Artificiality. It is a short provocation on the idea that art was never natural. Use it, ignore it, remix it, or let it drift between your lines.

“All that gives rise to an inscription in general, whether it is literal or not and even if what it distributes in space is alien to the order of the voice: cinematography, choreography, of course, but also pictorial, musical, sculptural ‘writing’.”
— Jacques Derrida

Who Can Submit

Anyone, anywhere. Poets, photographers, designers, illustrators, coders, dreamers, silent observers. You do not need an art degree or an exhibition history. You only need a point of view.

You do not have to use AI, but you can. You do not have to use the image pack, but you might want to take a look.

Bring an image. Or six.

The Basics

• Submit 1 to 6 still images (JPG or PNG)
• Include a short artist bio (maximum 50 words)
• Add short descriptions for each image (maximum 50 words per image)
• AI, analog, scanned, scratched, or hybrid works are all accepted
• Deadline: September 15, 2025
• Exhibition: November 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026
• Cost: Free
• Copyright: You keep all rights

Why Submit?

Because poetry is still an option. Because remixing is a valid response. Because sometimes the glitch is more honest than the original. Because art is always already artificial.
