Lee discusses the development of \u0022The Fold: Episodes I, II, III\u0022 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, \u0022The Fold\u0022 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.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan\u003EImage courtesy of the artist.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","phone":"","contactname":"Alex M.
