Almost, Still Almost Real Exhibition, Tel-Aviv / Israel 2026 You can create an image that looks real, but can you create emotion? This series was presented at the Almost Real exhibition by the AI Designers’ Association. The series focuses on an elusive moment of in-betweenness, between control and loss of control, and examines how even an AI-generated image manages to evoke a sense of truth not through accuracy, but through vulnerability, despite the knowledge that it is Almost real.

A Lullaby for the Unstable
Explores the fragile space between calm and disruption. Soft visual rhythms coexist with subtle tension, suggesting a moment of quiet that is never entirely secure. The work reflects on emotional balance in an unstable world, where comfort and uncertainty remain intertwined.

Tropical Future Ritual Set within a saturated tropical environment inspired by Thailand’s landscapes, temple light, and ceremonial gestures, Tropical Future Ritual imagines a space where tradition and algorithmic imagery quietly intersect.Rather than presenting a conflict between past and future, the work proposes a continuous movement between them — where culture, nature, and artificial intelligence coexist in layered continuity.

Listening
A quiet reflection on attention and perception. The work explores the fragile space where observation becomes sensitivity. A state of openness to signals that are emotional, intuitive, and often unseen.
ABOUT
Carin Besser (C26.AI) is a conceptual AI visual artist exploring the intersection of emotion, perception, color, and emerging technology.
With a background in industrial engineering and artificial intelligence, her practice bridges analytical thinking with intuitive exploration. Rather than treating AI as a tool for automation, she approaches it as a field of inquiry, a space for testing how emotion, memory, and identity can be translated into constructed visual worlds.
Her work often investigates how color and light behave within generative imagery, creating chromatic atmospheres where bodies, motion, and feeling subtly dissolve into one another. Each body of work unfolds as an iterative research process, moving through experimentation, refinement, and emotional response. Cinematic language, restrained composition, and quiet symbolic tension shape her visual vocabulary.
Across exhibitions, immersive contexts, and spatial collaborations, her practice returns to a recurring question: How can artificial intelligence deepen human sensitivity rather than replace it?
