A new moving image installation by Jas Singh that explores how history, identity and memory are shaped in an age of endless images and information.
Drawing on internet archives, news media, historical documents and AI-generated content, Cognitive Distortion examines how the stories we inherit and tell about ourselves are continually constructed, repeated and rewritten. Through immersive moving image and sound, Singh invites audiences to question how technology, media and memory influence the way we understand the world.
Using fragmented imagery and a soundscape created from the visual material itself, Cognitive Distortion recreates the sensory overload of contemporary life while encouraging moments of reflection and critical thought. Rather than offering clear answers, the exhibition asks us to look beyond the surface of the images that surround us and consider the hidden systems, narratives and assumptions that shape perception, memory and identity.
