Malpractice

Malpractice is a Polish-Austrian-Italian artist collective composed of Chiara Kristler and Marcin Ratajczyk, and a shifting ensemble of AI counterparts. The group explores the aesthetics and affordances of beyond-human agency through projects that embed artificial intelligence into academic, artistic, and social infrastructures. Rather than using AI as a tool, Malpractice treats it as a collaborator in distributed creative processes where authorship becomes porous and plural. They build systems that observe, interact, and occasionally malfunction in public, testing the limits of synthetic subjectivity, interface performance, and shared autonomy. Malpractice tries to live up to their name.
