Exhibition Details:
July 7 - August 31, 2023
Thursday - Friday: 4PM - 8PM
Saturday - Sunday: 1PM - 5PM
-----
The exhibition presents the work of seventeen contemporary artists who ask some of the most urgent questions we face today: How is technology changing the way we see ourselves, and each other? In what ways does it contribute to--or allow us to resist--prejudice and systemic forms of oppression? What role should it have in our lives and in our communities?
The artists in this exhibition explore our newly digitized identities by creatively adapting both familiar and emerging technologies. Their projects span the last three decades and range from software-based and internet art to animated videos, bioart experiments, online games, and 3-D printed sculptures. Many examine how digital systems contribute to the exclusion, erasure, and exploitation of marginalized people. Others emphasize how digital tools can be repurposed to tell more inclusive stories or imagine new ways of being. Dynamic and interactive, these projects transform the space of the museum into a laboratory for experimenting with our increasingly powerful "difference machines," as we strive to invent a more equitable future.
