NARS Foundation is pleased to present Personality Test: An Autofiction, a solo exhibition by NARS alumni Sue Beyer.
Who wrote the questions? Who determines the right answers? Who benefits from the results? You are scored, ranked, and categorized—an introvert, an extrovert, a Type A, a Type B, an optimized consumer. What happens when you fail the test? What happens when you refuse to be tested?
Personality Test is an exhibition exploring identity through fact, fiction, and the lens of AI.
Personality Test: An Autofiction is a new exhibition by interdisciplinary artist Sue Beyer, that investigates the shifting boundaries of identity and selfhood. Using an intermedial approach that draws from AI and big data, the exhibition poses a deceptively simple question: Who am I?
Part fact and part fiction, the show introduces an autofiction co-authored by algorithms and machine logic — a portrait of personality as both framework and filter. As AI increasingly shapes the story we tell ourselves, Personality Test asks whether these tools reveal our truth or simply generate hallucinations.
