The relevant context is the contrast between the phrasing "appear to be dismantling" and "dissolves entirely," as applied to the performance artist in question and the post-internet artist, respectively, contrasting the two. Whatever the performance artists are doing is more orthodox than what post-internet artists are doing.
Blank I: "Actually," does the heaving lifting here. They are dismantling, but actually they aren't (in comparison). They are actually adhering to some orthodoxies. Subversion has the opposite tone/meaning, and dependence is irrelevant to the subject of the passage.
Blank II: This adherence is more restrained than that of post-internet artists. Provocative has the opposite meaning/tone, and incoherent is also irrelevant to the subject of the passage.
Blank III: Now the subject is the post-internet artist, which does not show resistance. What best describes what they do with the algorithmically generated possibility is exploit. Supersedes implies the post-internet era overtake that other artist, but this is also not the subject of the passage.

Blank (i) - C. an adherence to: The word "actually" signals a reversal of the apparent radicalism. The practice conforms to structured frameworks despite seeming avant-garde.
Blank (ii) - E. restrained: Post-internet art dissolves all boundaries; compared to that, structured participation looks moderate and controlled. Restrained is the only word on the conventional/tame axis.
Blank (iii) - H. exploits: Post-internet art is defined by using algorithmic tools maximally. Resists inverts this; supersedes mischaracterizes the relationship as replacement rather than use.
