Ideas Salon: Art in the Age of Singularity
Update: This talk has been postponed to Jan 14th due to a seasonal bug in the speaker’s system (she lost her voice).
________________________________________
Inga Bard, artist and non-profit founder, is excited to share a survey of boundary pushing contemporary artists who are reimagining creativity, authorship, and meaning in the age of intelligent systems. Bard will trace these threads through emergent practices that show not only how emerging technology changes how/ what we see, but how it recalibrates who we are.
Across galleries, museums and biennials, artists are turning the contemporary tools of computation into mirrors of our collective psyche and ask: What does it mean to make art after the singularity?
Who: Inga Bard + a constellation of thinkers, artists, and technologists
What: An evening of curiosity, nuance, and camaraderie
Where: Discourse, the Living Room above the SF Moto Shop (SoMa, SF)
When: Wed, November 19th | 6 – 9 PM
Pizza at 6:30 | Conversation begins promptly at 7:30
Why: Because Art is a tool of Inquiry
The Ideas Salon is a forum for civic imagination, a gathering of curious minds meeting at the intersection of technology, art, and urgent cultural issues. Each session convenes a small circle of thinkers, makers, and advocates around a single question: what is happening and why does it matter?
Hosted at Discourse, a non-profit space for civic imagination in SOMA. Supported by Art for Civil Discourse, a non-profit fostering curiosity and dialogue through art.
All event proceeds fund Art for Civil Discourse and their non-profit work in the Bay Area.
