Reception on Jan 27 from 6:30-8:30pm; Gallery Talk & Book Signing Feb 2 from 6-8:30pm.
I will be sharing some of my recent work with AI platforms in the Technologies for Change exhibition at the S/PN Gallery at UT Dallas. Can AI platforms be collaborators in a social art practice project? Should they be? What are some of the possibilities and limitations? How can they subvert techno-capitalist approaches? Can we co-create a technological pluriverse?
ART AS SOCIAL PRACTICE - Technologies for Change
With a focus on contemporary socially engaged art practices, this exhibition demonstrates how artists use their creative practices to raise consciousness, form communities, create change, and bring forth social impact through new technologies and digital practices.
Curated by invitation to artist-authors included in burrough and Walgren’s book, Art as Social Practice: Technologies for Change, the show includes works by half of the artist contributors.
Works highlighted in this exhibition span collaborative image-making, immersive experiences, telematic art, time machines, artificial intelligence, and physical computing. These works reveal how the artists collaborate with participants and communities, and have found ways to expand, transform, reimagine, and create new platforms for meaningful exchange in both physical and virtual spaces.
