AI IS A VAMPIRE - AN EXHIBITION

​AI IS A VAMPIRE - EXHIBITION OPENING

​From analog to Ai.

​A dialogue of cautionary reflection.

​by Kris Luckraj

​Join us at The Warehouse, Al Quoz, for an opening evening of a thought-provoking exhibition exploring the tension between human knowledge and artificial intelligence. South African artist Kris Luckraj transforms the pages of discarded dictionaries into striking artworks, drawing parallels between language – the source code of humanity – and AI’s algorithmic mimicry.

​Running from 6–16 September 2025, with an exclusive vernissage on 6 September, 6–9 PM, the show invites reflection on authorship, ethics, and the future of creativity in a machine-driven age.

​About the Exhibition
AI is a Vampire draws a striking parallel between human language and artificial intelligence. Using discarded dictionaries as his canvas, Kris prints thought-provoking quotes and texts onto their pages, highlighting how AI’s algorithms are built upon the very words and ideas humanity has articulated over centuries. The works invite reflection on the ethical, philosophical, and creative implications of AI — who shapes it, how it shapes us, and what that means for the future.

​About the Artist
Kris Luckraj, a graphic designer, painter, and multidisciplinary artist, grew up in South Africa during apartheid a time that sharpened his perspective on language, power, and social justice. Influenced by protest art and the potent typography of activist movements, Kris creates works that merge text, found objects, and visual wit to provoke thought and spark dialogue. His practice is shaped by civic, political, cultural, and technological discourse, with a consistent focus on the power of words to alter perception and inspire change.
