Digital fatalism is mediated through predictive technologies (that predictcrime, educational achievement, future behaviour), and automated decisionmakingAl (that deny access to housing, credit, employment). To investigatehow artistic practice can expose digital fatalism, a contextual review of artistsaddressing technological determinacy will be conducted, bolstered by ananalysis of apocalyptic internet memes as a form of subcultural indulgence infatalistic ideology. New installation and interactive digital artworks willsubvert the tools of predictive and decision-making Al to explore how art candestabilise and mitigate against the effects digital fatalism has on agency.
