Don’t miss this major new exhibition by Scottish artist Rachel Maclean, a playful, mesmerising and unsettling world that invites us to question the technologies that mirror us back and who is really shaping creativity in an age of machines.
They've Got Your Eyes is a major new commission by Scottish artist Rachel Maclean, featuring the world premiere of a film created using AI models trained on her own image and artistic archive. The exhibition invites you into a vivid, uncanny world where authorship and identity begin to slip.
Drawing parallels between today’s AI boom and the Victorian era’s fascination with invention and discovery, They’ve Got Your Eyes asks us to interrogate the motivations behind the pursuit of AI and to examine how ego shapes the development of technology. Glowing sculptures dripping with slime mix science aesthetics with Celtic faerie folklore to invite us into this playful, mesmerising and unsettling world. They’ve Got Your Eyes asks us to look closely at the technologies that mirror us back and consider who is really shaping creativity in an age of machines.

This exhibition is a 20 minute immersive film experience, shown across multiple screens throughout the gallery. You’re welcome to enter at any point, but for the best experience, we recommend joining at the start. A clock outside the gallery shows when the film begins again.
This artwork contains flashing lights and images and occasional strong language. Please speak to a member of staff for more information.
