ITP Alum\u00a0Nathaniel Stern<\/a><\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Sasha Stiles<\/a>\u00a0present their large-scale, groundbreaking museum exhibition that illuminates the co-evolution of humans and technology, inviting us to reconsider our relationships with the tools we invent.\u00a0 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a transformational force in human history, akin to the rise of language itself, the printing press, or our harnessing of electricity – unlocking new realms of imagination and awareness. Yet its discourse is fraught with fear, misunderstanding, and disconnection.<\/p>\n

By blending Artificial Intelligence with more traditional artistic expression,\u00a0Generation to Generation: Conversing with Kindred Technologies\u00a0<\/i>cultivates new pathways for imagination while nurturing the roots of our creative inheritance, and the always-evolving dialogue between art and innovation. In the galleries viewers will find an immersive fusion of sculptures, prints, electronics, music, movement, and poetry, all born from creative collaboration with AI.\u00a0<\/p>\n
