Josh Kline’s work has always had a prescient quality to it. The germ-like glass sculptures of Contagious Unemployment (2016), made three years before the pandemic struck, were eerily shaped like the coronavirus. And anticipating our growing anxieties over AI manipulation of preexisting images, Kline created crude AI-generated videos of iconic visages, such as Whitney Houston in Forever 48 (2013) and former President George W. Bush in Crying Games (2015), digitally grafted onto actors’ bodies.
