"So the machine has bones. And those bones, they have a lived history. We don’t talk about this enough in mainstream conversations about AI. The machine is not neutral. It’s made of a material “somewhere”."

[Connie Bakshi @conniebakshi]

@Catalyst_LA, the community I called home from the start — friendships forged here have weathered sun and storm. All the more fitting that my latest work with @epoch_gallery, Between These Black Waters, was first celebrated here, amongst those I hold most dear 🤍

Between These Black Waters is a web-based interactive film set inside a procedurally generated world. The work follows an unknown entity awakening without memory, navigating a series of choices toward multiple possible endings.

[LACMA @LACMA]

john gerrard: SPIRITS → now open

@john__gerrard collected 96 worn plastic sandals from beaches around the world, each carrying unknown stories of the people who wore them, and turned them into evocative digital sculptures using “gaussian splats.”

SPIRITS is a year-long artwork meant to be experienced in the browser and on your phone, where you can interactively unfold a story of the 20th century oil age. The pieces reveal themselves during four 24-hour events tied to the solstices and equinoxes. One spirit rises every hour on LACMA’s homepage, beginning on the first day of spring, March 20

How to engage with SPIRITS:
Move - Press and drag
Transform - Press upon the object
Sound off/on - Speaker icon to bottom left
Rotate - Circle icon to bottom center
Clear transformation - Sun icon to bottom right
