Tap Tap Tippety Tap

February 2026 · AI Video - Higgsfield, multiple models

A woman accidentally turns herself into a homogenous lump, which is harvested by Lucky Cat to be sold at the LLM supermarket. The film playfully addresses the changing human psyche under late capitalism, where emotions are commodified as brand content, identities flatten into meme like simplifications, and our data becomes a tradable commodity.

Installation view · BRB at FACT Liverpool · 18 Sep – 6 Dec 2026

A group show with Ellie Hoskins and Livi Wilmore.

“BRB (meaning ‘be right back’) is internet slang used on early messaging platforms to indicate a temporary step away from the screen. Today, that separation feels harder to find. […] Livi Wilmore transforms addictive digital platforms into a soft play centre for adult minds. Mrs Luva-Luva uses sculpture and film to question our agency and sense of self in a world where personal data is a lucrative commodity. Ellie Hoskins’ towering rollercoaster captures the mania and mundanity of contemporary existence.”
