SUMMARY:"Generation to Generation: Conversing with Kindred Technologies" Opening
DESCRIPTION:Generation to Generation: Conversing with Kindred Technologies is an immersive exhibition exploring how artificial intelligence reshapes human relationships to time\, memory\, creativity\, and history. Through sculpture\, print\, electronics\, music\, movement\, and poetry created in collaboration with AI\, the exhibition foregrounds aesthetic and embodied perspectives often overlooked in technical or policy-driven discussions of AI. By contrasting AI’s rapid\, data-driven feedback loops with the durational experience of human memory and artmaking\, the exhibition invites audiences to reconsider creativity\, authorship\, and cultural inheritance in an age of machine intelligence. \nArtists Sasha Stiles and Nathaniel Stern install Generation to Generation for a week-long run at Kenilworth Square East Gallery from February 12 to 20. Join Stern\, Stiles\, and The Brooklyn Rail editor-at-large Charlotte Kent for a workshop\, gallery walk\, panel on AI and contemporary art\, and opening reception with light refreshments on Thursday\, February 12. \nSasha Stiles is a Kalmyk-American poet\, artist\, and AI researcher whose internationally exhibited transmedia practice pioneers human–machine co-creation through hybrid poetics\, generative language\, and collaborative intelligence. \nNathaniel Stern is an artist\, writer\, and professor whose wide-ranging practice spans interactive\, ecological\, and immersive media\, and whose work on art\, technology\, and embodiment has been featured internationally in major exhibitions and publications. \n
