The Fold | Artist Talk

Oct. 9 | 5 p.m. | Step Gallery, Grant Street Studios

In this artist talk, Alex M. Lee discusses the development of "The Fold: Episodes I, II, III" an evolving series of works that considers technology not as an inevitable or singular trajectory, but as something entangled with culture, philosophy, history and the imagination. Moving through virtual reality, artificial intelligence, video game engines, animation and robotics, "The Fold" brings together different technological systems and ways of understanding the world. The talk considers how these evolving systems create new possibilities for collaboration between humans and machines, where agency, authorship and performance are increasingly shared and negotiated.
