12–18 October 2025 | Custom House, Edinburgh
Acclaimed artist Trevor Jones recently announced the launch of EXPOS3D, a groundbreaking immersive exhibition that fuses painting, sculpture, stained glass, artificial intelligence and cutting-edge technology into an experience unlike anything the art world has seen.
For one week only – from 12 to 18 October – the historic Custom House, Edinburgh will be transformed into a living system of interactive artworks, augmented reality and AI-driven installations. At its centre is LOGOS, an all-seeing artificial intelligence that challenges audiences to reconsider how we live, think, and rebel in the age of technology.
EXPOS3D explores three defining tensions of our time:
- Surveillance: the omnipresent gaze of technology that monitors, predicts, and controls
- Faith: the shift from religious and cultural traditions toward new digital dependencies
- Rebellion: the human instinct to resist, to question, and to reclaim freedom in the face of control
The result is a multi-sensory exhibition where visitors do not simply observe, but become participants in shaping their own digital world.
Key Works & Experiences
- Giant AI-animated paintings that evolve in real time
- LOGOS, an artificial intelligence entity that learns and reacts to viewers
- The Sacaramemes, seven oil paintings that watch you as you watch them
- Eyes of LOGOS, interactive installations that follow, recognise, and even call you by name
- Immersive rewards system, where visitors unlock exclusive digital and physical gifts via the EXPOS3D app
Trevor Jones explains: “This is not an attack on tradition. It’s an observation of how much our world has changed. Where once people turned to God for answers, we now turn to machines. As the roots of faith weaken, we must confront what has been lost, what has been gained, and what it means for our future.”
A Seismic Shift
EXPOS3D responds to a profound cultural transformation: as religion loses its central role, technology steps into the vacuum, with phones, algorithms, and surveillance systems increasingly shaping human behaviour, choices, and beliefs. The exhibition challenges audiences to confront this shift and ask:
- What is gained when machines take the place of gods?
- What is lost when faith and freedom fade?
- Where can rebellion still be found?

About EXPOS3D
EXPOS3D is a radical immersive art experience that confronts the shifting balance between humans, machines and control.
12-18 OCTOBER | CUSTOM HOUSE | EDINBURGH
We are entering a world where religion no longer holds the same place it once did, and the moral and cultural foundations shaped by centuries of belief in God and the church are beginning to fade. Where people once prayed, sought forgiveness, and looked to an all-seeing God for answers, we now turn to technology. Phones, algorithms and vast surveillance systems are stepping into the role once held by the divine.
This shift will have consequences. As the roots of faith and tradition weaken, we face an uncertain future that could easily slip into dystopia. EXPOS3D responds to this moment by confronting the rise of all-powerful technology and asking where resistance and rebellion can still be found.
This is not an attack on tradition, but an observation of how much our world has changed. As we move deeper into a digital future, we must consider what has been lost, what has been gained, and what it all means for the human spirit.
About Trevor Jones/Career Highlights
Originally from Canada, Trevor set out in 1996 with a backpack and a taste for adventure. Three years and four continents later he found himself in Scotland, fell in love with the country and decided to stay.
In 2008 he graduated from Edinburgh College of Art and The University of Edinburgh with an MA (Hons) in Fine Art (with distinction) and was appointed director of charity Art in Healthcare in Edinburgh.
He went on to teach at Leith School of Art while exhibiting in London, Truro and Edinburgh, staging his first solo exhibition in 2010. Since 2012 he has been experimenting with the potential of QR codes in art and combining AR with traditional oil painting.
In 2015 he co-founded CreativTek Ltd to provide AR services to artists and left Art in Healthcare and teaching to focus on his own art career. He also “hijacked” images in the National Gallery of Scotland to showcase his own work, setting up an app to see his paintings in place of Old Masters.
Two years later he was invited to exhibit AR paintings at the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh and took his first dive into Bitcoin and crypto trading. Since then, he has “hijacked” Edinburgh’s National Portrait Gallery and exhibited crypto-themed work at crypto conferences. In 2021 the open-edition NFT derived from his painting The Bitcoin Angel broke sales records and is now iconic in the NFT world.
Trevor has established himself as one of the most successful traditional to digital, crossover artists with record-breaking drops on SuperRare, Makersplace, AsyncArt, KnownOrigin and Niftygateway.
He also created The Angel’s Share NFT to accompany the record-breaking $2.3m sale of a cask of Macallan’s whisky and collaborated with rapper Ice Cube and worked with world-renowned digital artist Pak on their Collision collaboration.
Brian Cox, Ian Rankin, KT Tunstall and Dr Jordan Peterson have sat for a portrait by Trevor in his series The Famous, and, in 2023, he created an exclusive NFT artwork ‘The Oath’ to mark the historic moment of the Coronation of King Charles III, in collaboration with The Evening Standard and Apollo Entertainment.
In 2024, Trevor’s CryptoAngels proved a multimedia phenomenon, involving sculpture, NFTs, Bitcoin ordinals, videogaming, animation, and a multiverse of angels. In the same year, Trevor also created The Engine, an epic series of allegorical paintings, animations, and worldbuilding, merging satire, philosophy, and fantasy.
