AI Is Not Indigenous (2022-) transforms protest into a sustained artistic practice, confronting algorithmic appropriation and cultural erasure. Their slogans — bold declarations carried into the streets — insist that belonging, ancestry, and resistance cannot be automated. By turning protest signs into artworks, Andersson & Bergman expose how datasets scrape Indigenous forms while stripping away meaning. The work refuses to let culture be reduced to patterns, asserting protest as both resistance and creation.

Their protest is not only a reaction to AI but part of a much longer history of colonial extraction, where Indigenous knowledge has repeatedly been commodified without consent. In the context of today’s dataset economies, the work insists that political resistance itself must be recognized as an art form.
