Nathaniel Stern is an interdisciplinary artist, engineer, and researcher whose work explores how humans co-evolve with technology – especially artificial intelligence. His recent work focuses on how art can support thinking, creating, and making meaning with and about AI. Stern is a Professor of Art & Design (Creative Technologies) at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee (UWM), with a joint appointment in Mechanical Engineering. He is also Director of Academic Engagement and Creative Impact at UWM’s Lubar Entrepreneurship Center (LEC).

Throughout the fall and spring semesters, the Artists Now! Guest Lecture Series welcomes a diverse group of nationally and internationally recognized artists working across traditional, hybrid and emergent disciplines. Join us to explore and expand boundaries of creative visual practices alongside others with an interest in contemporary visual art.
