The current exhibition in Illusionaries is ‘Latent Spaces’ by Markos Kay and with music composed by Jesse Solomon Clark.

Kay, a multidisciplinary artist and director, brings his unparalleled expertise in art, science, and generative art to the forefront, presenting a collage of refined visuals that push the boundaries of creativity and innovation.
Latent spaces consists of four spaces. Each space has a different approach or topic. The Complexity space shows animations of unimaginable environments and creatures. The Formation Space displays images of the formation of life: art work based on the creation and evolution of molecules. The third room is the Agents Room, in which you can find human-like representations, showing the complexities of artificial intelligence and its implications for our understanding of self and simulation. In the 'Breathing Space' artificial intelligence becomes a tool for artistic expression. As visitors immerse themselves in the multidimensional creatures and accompanying soundscapes, a meditative breathing tempo envelops the space, intertwining experiences in a liminal state of harmony.
Illusionaries is definitely a must-see in London, it displays an encredibly immersive character of the exhibition 'Latent Spaces.'
