Can Meeple Escape the Neurophoria? is an exhibition that looks at how our relationship with intelligent technologies, such as AI, is changing. It explores how this shift shapes our sense of self, our ability to make choices, and our connection to machines as we evolve alongside them.

Be amongst the first to see Can Meeple Escape the Neurophoria?, a new group exhibition curated by FACT’s 2025 curator-in-residence, Milia Xin Bi, that looks at how our relationship with technology is changing.

Inspired by the worldbuilding dynamics of tabletop gaming, the exhibition investigates the evolving relationship between humans and intelligent technologies and features interactive works by Vytas Jankauskas, Joseph Wilk, and Jan Zuiderveld.

Join us for a special after-hours event on Thursday 5 February to celebrate the launch of this new exhibition and book your free ticket in advance to receive a complimentary drink on arrival.

Vytas Jankauskas reflects on the climate crisis, human existence and technological development, revealing the pleasure and pain that emerge from their entanglement. Jan Zuiderveld’s works create encounters between people and machine-learning algorithms placed inside physical objects, highlighting how we often see certain behaviours as signs of life. Joseph Wilk’s tabletop game positions play as a form of resistance against the political ideas built into many technologies.

Step into this playful world, test the boundaries and discover the impact of your choices. Together, these artworks ask: in a world shaped by intelligent systems, who makes the next move?
FACT’s 2025 Curator-in-Residence is supported by the John Ellerman Foundation.
