Wafaa Bilal

In a Grain of Wheat: Cultivating Hybrid Futures in Ancient Seed DNA

Using leading-edge molecular biological archiving processes, Wafaa Bilal saves high-resolution 3D-scans of an iconoclastically vandalized ancient sculpture inside the DNA of heirloom Iraqi wheat seeds, integrating the origins of civilization with postcultural planetary futures.

I Come As One, But I Stand As One Thousand

In a cybernetic bejeweled landscape, artificial intelligence takes physical form through the choreography of 1000 quadcopter drones with LEDs, accompanied by live performers and an orchestra.

In a gallery, three black office chairs, modified with motorized wheels and electronic sensors, stand amidst a mess of white printer paper scattered in sheets and stacks on a black floor mat.

Inside Outsourcing

Robots can’t make baskets. Mended by humans, their failures become sculptures, while on video, full-body motion capture performers individually guide robotic fingers to awkwardly grasp at straws.

Cory Arcangel

The Source

The Source is a publishing series where the artist will publish the computer source code for nearly his entire body of software work over the past 15 years.

A photograph of a curvaceous, stylized sculpture of a rooster with no head mounted on top of a steel frame made in the proportions of the Eiffel Tower. In the background are the rooftops of an English seaside town. In the far distance on the horizon is the English Channel looking towards France. Overhead, gray storm clouds are forming in an otherwise blue sky.

Rachel Rossin

On the Poetics of “Wireless Fidelity” (WiFi)

The project, On the Poetics of Wireless Fidelity proposes a series of autonomous, self-powered sculptural-combines using repurposed WiFi energy in order to demonstrate and expose our hidden infrastructure.

Guanaquerx

Reenacting José de San Martín’s revolutionary expedition of 1817, Guanaquerx is a robot seeking emancipation and a collective technological enterprise that will deploy the first robot to cross the Andes.

Brian House

Macrophones

By making atmospheric infrasound audible with Macrophones, we can hear sounds of the climate crisis unfolding across the globe.

Sarah Rosalena

Standard Candle

Standard Candle rethinks astronomical observatory instrumentation through feminist and decolonial perspectives by using digital weaving and indigenous beading to reinterpret telescopic images in textile form.

Several video stills printed on paper are scattered haphazardly in a pile. Among them: a silver geodesic dome, a person nestled into a rock speaking into a microphone, large pipes and steaming geysers.

Caitlin Berrigan

Xenolith

A speculative fiction that traces encounters with difference, contamination, and queer subjectivities through the material metaphor of the xenolith—a geological term for alien stone.

Carousel button

A woman in black stands in front of a bright yellow fence holding a sculpture covered in black QWERTY keyboard keys under her arm like a pet. She is of mixed-race Asian descent with long dark hair and light complexion and looks straight at the camera.

Katherine Behar's Inside Outsourcing explores the claim that basketry is the only mass-produced process to resist mechanical automation.
