Generation to Generation: Conversing with Kindred Technologies

February 12 - February 20

Artists Sasha Stiles and Nathaniel Stern install their show Generation to Generation: Conversing with Kindred Technologies for a week-long run at Kenilworth Square East Gallery from February 12 to 20.

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. By blending Artificial Intelligence with more traditional artistic expression, Generation to Generation: Conversing with Kindred Technologies cultivates new pathways for imagination while nurturing the roots of our creative inheritance, and the always-evolving dialogue between art and innovation.   

This groundbreaking exhibition illuminates the intertwined evolution of humanity and technology, inviting viewers to reconsider the relationship between humans and the tools we invent through an immersive fusion of sculptures, prints, electronics, music, movement, and poetry, all born from creative collaboration with AI.  

This exhibition is part of the Center for 21st Century Studies’ Aesthetics, Art, & AI series, produced in collaboration with the Center for the Humanities at UW-Madison, with support from the Consortium for Humanities Centers and Institutes (CHCI).
