OperationSéance: Purifying the AI Spirits in Latent Space Salon
In collaboration with Niwit Lertsawaengkit, with Live Haircut
In an age where AI concentrates power, distorts memory, deepens surveillance, and now guides weapons, is it not time to enter the salon and purify the spirits?
Two performers enter the latent salon: a space inside AI where spirits made of fragments of human culture whisper to each other. Where once humans gathered to exchange ideas, now it is the (artificial?) spirits who attempt the conversation.
A live haircut becomes the séance opening — gestures turn to sound, sounds enter the machine, while a lecture narrates alongside the ritual. Lecture and ritual arrive as one breath, until words dissolve entirely into immersive sound and image, and the purification begins.

Rat Section
Bangkok Kunsthalle presents Rat Section for a one-night performance joined by Wasawat Somno + Niwit Lertsawaengkit and Medulla Spinalis
Friday, 14 August 2026 · 7:30 PM – 10:00 PM
Rat Section is a music and performance project currently based in London that treats choreography, set design, and the specific qualities of each space as integral parts of every show. Their work moves between experimental electronic, pop, spoken word and club music, constructing a mythology that deliberately blurs the line between biography and fiction.

OperationSéance: Purifying the AI Spirits in Latent Space Salon
@giang_ws, 1994, Thailand is an artist working with code, audiovisual/sound performance, and installation. His practice is organized around the act of mapping — holding two planes of context in tension and tracing what passes between them. A computational system and the ethical questions it quietly carries. A simulation and the physical world it stands in for. An interface and the body that encounters it.
@niwit_lertsawaengkit is a Bangkok-based performance artist specializing in live action and hair performance art. Collaborated with Mexican artist Ruth Vigueras Bravo at the International Performance Festival (2018 – "Artists Army", 2019 – "Eco Art") under the Rebel Live Action series. Presented HOS (Hair On Stage) in Manila in 2019.
There are places within us that language never quite reaches.
Sometimes they appear as dreams.
Sometimes as memories that never happened.
Sometimes as a feeling that quietly refuses to leave.
What does your mind sound like when nobody else is listening?
