Presented as part of Hidden Currencies: Water Justice in the Age of AI . Explore how emerging technologies are reshaping how water is allocated, treated, and managed. As AI and data centers increasingly factor into decisions alongside cities, farms, and ecosystems, the panel examines both challenges and possibilities for more efficient, transparent, and equitable water systems in Swiss and U.S. contexts.
About the Hidden Currencies Series
Presented by the Consulate General of Switzerland in San Francisco, Hidden Currencies explores water as a living medium whose circulation sustains both life and technological innovation. The series highlights connections between Switzerland’s longstanding commitments to water stewardship, diplomacy, and innovation, and the Bay Area’s role as a global hub for research and technology.
The central exhibition features works by six artists whose practices span photography, sculpture, installation, performance, video, and data art: Mark Baugh-Sasaki, Kristiana Chan 莊礼恩, Céline Ducret, Ana Teresa Fernández, Greg Niemeyer, and Annelia Norris (pue leek la').
An adjoining experiential hub features interventions by City Studio (Amy Berk + Chris Treggiari), Ani Moskovyan, Greg Niemeyer, Samuel Wildmann, Tania Claudia Castillo, Candice Mays, and Juana Perfecta. Together, these works invite visitors to reckon with water's hidden presence in everyday life — drawing audiences into direct encounters with the systems, costs, and migrations that water quietly connects.
Curated by Amy Kisch, Founder of AKArt Advisory and Art+Action, the exhibition unfolds as an immersive experience that extends beyond the gallery through a series of interdisciplinary activations bringing together Swiss and U.S. artists, filmmakers, Indigenous knowledge holders, policymakers, scientists, and climate activists to explore water, climate justice, and imagined futures.
This event is presented by the Consulate General of Switzerland in San Francisco in collaboration with , , , and , and supported by and EAWAG.
