September 14 \u2013 December 11, 2021<\/p>\n

Curator: Tom Leeser, Director of the Art and Technology Program and the Center for Integrated Media, CalArts<\/p>\n

Tech\/Know\/Future\/ From Slang to Structure<\/em><\/strong> is a critical response to technological systems within art addressing the issues of identity, history and abstraction, placing the viewer at the intersection of the past, present and future. Eleven diverse cross-disciplinary artists will use their creative practices to establish new relationships among technology, knowledge and time through augmented reality, artificial intelligence, sound, video, textiles and works on paper.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is curated by Tom Leeser, Director of the Art and Technology Program and the Center for Integrated Media at CalArts, who will bring together a group of innovative artists including: Morehshin Allahyari, Salome Asega, Nancy Baker Cahill, Stephanie Dinkins, Carla Gannis, Taehee Kim, LoVid, Amelia Marzec, Olivia Mole, Sondra Perry, and Casey Reas.<\/p>\n

Tech\/Know\/Future <\/em>is an examination of humanity\u2019s particular moment in time amidst a newfound era of social and political upheaval. Humanity stands at a crossroads between its past attachment to technology\u2019s promise and a precarious, vague future. The artists who comprise this exhibition are compelling and provocative: their work collectively maps future territories of uncommon knowledge, digitally reconstituted iconographies of the present, and short-circuited networks of the past.<\/p>\n

The exhibition draws inspiration from the essay \u201cIconic Treatise Gothic Futurism” by the late writer, artist and musician Rammellzee, and the book After the Future<\/em> by the Italian cultural theorist Bifo Berardi. Rammellzee designed a \u201ctechnological language\u201d to challenge the art world\u2019s conventional approaches to image-making and writing. Berardi defines the future as a \u201ccultural construction\u201d of a materialistic, superficial twentieth-century society. He declares the mythology of the future is over, with the rise of global capitalism and its powerful \u201cimaginary effects” to blame. Berardi\u2019s post-future is a dematerialized, infinite present, a virtual space and time.<\/p>\n
