$Curator Tour: Technologies of Relation\t$

Working across mediums, addressing technology both with its own tools and through analog means, many of the artists featured in Technologies of Relation— skilled technologists — choose simpler materials to give shape to their ideas. Their works demystify technology, reminding us that it is neither neutral nor authoritative, or beyond our scope of influence. They bring it closer by relating emerging technologies to the ancient arts of weaving, tattooing, and divination. These artists look to ancestral traditions as models for making technology more accessible, and for ways of imagining (or remembering) how we can employ more ethics and care in the technological sphere.
