Join us Wednesday November 20 from 6:30-9:30pm to discover how activist art in the digital age brings critical perspectives into technology such as AI and blockchain. The rapid expansion and deployment of today's technology often comes with unanticipated consequences. Yet, critical insights into tech are prevalent in new media art projects that push boundaries into possibilities, limits, and impacts of tech on a human, social level. Is it time for industry, policy, and research to pay attention to the digital vanguard? Can artists inspire the use of technology to elevate and illuminate crucial questions and critique new forms of power?Free!

Behind the scenes with @kinetecharts last night, preparing for Saturday’s performances at “Beyond the Body.” Two dance performers, six expert panelists, three immersive experiences, one documentary — all addressing a key question: who are we in relationship to our data?
