Showcase: Saturday 1 August 2026

The Lancaster Rooms, Somerset House

This summer, TITLES partnered with Somerset House Studios and n-Space to commission five artists to create their own custom generative AI models. The showcase introduces these artist-led models by Claudia Maté, Ed Fornieles, Louis Morlæ, Nigel Matambo, and Zein Majali. Curated by Günseli Yalcinkaya.

Offering an insight into the affordances of custom, artist-led AI models, the programme will consider what it means to be an artist in dialogue with generative AI, and its implications for the creative process, authorship, and ownership.

The artists:

Claudia Maté was born in Spain in 1985 and now lives and works in London. Her works encompass a variety of mediums including programming, 3D, video, animated GIFs and sound. She seeks to blend the familiar with the strange, the futuristic with the retro, forging a surreal universe of her own creation.

Ed Fornieles’ work moves across film, social media, sculpture, installation and performance to express the interaction of family, relationships, popular memes, language and the subcultures of the 21st century. His practice operates within immersive simulations, which construct and enact alternative political and social spaces. His projects often involve cultural, social, and infrastructural production.

Louis Morlæ’s multimedia world-building practice spans sculpture, video, installation and robotics, exploring the intersection of digital technology, industrial design and character-driven narrative. Morlæ’s work evokes a surreal, science-fictional landscape populated with an array of android-like figures, game-engine animations and futuristic mechanical infrastructure. Created using contemporary techniques of computer-aided design, 3D printing and algorithmic processing, his work touches on the metaverse, industrial automation and artificial intelligence, depicting humanity’s accelerating relationship to the digital with tactility, escapism, and humour, oscillating between visions of progress and upheaval, utopia and dystopia.

Nigel Matambo (SUNUNGURO) is an award winning designer, technologist, and strategist working at the frontier of artificial intelligence, spatial computing, and generative systems. His practice explores how emerging technologies can reshape narrative, identity, and interface. Building towards more intuitive, ambient, and intelligent futures. With a background in AR/VR, and creative innovation, he has led immersive technology across LVMH, developed augmented experiences for Louis Vuitton and partnered with Meta, Snapchat and Apple. His work fuses system-level design with cultural depth; creating experiences that are not only functional but responsive.

Zein Majali is a sound and visual artist whose work explores the collision of technology with a rapidly evolving political landscape, with an interest in a post-colonial and globalised Middle East. Her work examines sense-making in the wake of narrative collapse, brought on by the disorienting effects of digital life. Her recent audio visual performance work has been presented at the V&A, Somerset House, and the ICA.
