Read MoreContact Zone (Level 2) Infinitely iterating computer-generated animation with original soundtrack, projected live from the world in 270 degreesAn infinitely changing computer-generated animation. Two sites of rewilding collide—the Swiss Alps and the artist’s intestines—while an AI monitors them, itching to intervene. The animation is populated by imaged creatures generated by computer models, conjured by text-to-image AI algorithms, and captured by automated camera traps in the forest. It is accompanied by a seven-chapter soundtrack that uses sonic strategies of repetition, interruption, and release in weaving together ecological and mythological histories with philosophies of seeing, knowing, and controlling. The animation unfolds in endless permutations as the algorithm assembles the narrative order; field recordings; location, time and weather; creature actions; and camera views in ever-new variations, enabling fresh meanings to emerge.
Read MoreThe Summer Showcase brings together a selection of recent XR projects created by artists in the Onassis ONX membership. Using a diversity of narrative and aesthetic tactics, the works on display illuminate stories of migration, marginalization, and transfiguration. The XR field is grounded here in physical space by mixed-media assemblage and sculpture. In some cases, tactile installations point to a third space of ritual. In others, physical-digital dynamics frame statements on history and identity. In all of the works on view, fantasy plays a key role in bridging the gap between what is and what could be.

Read MoreNEW INC and EY Metaverse Lab proudly present two multimedia installations at Onassis ONX, developed during the collaboration’s artists-in-residence program. The initiative brings together artists and technologists to explore challenges and issues affecting humanity today. This year’s program features artists Laura Splan and Eva Daidova. Splan is developing Metafrictions, a work that examines new epistemologies emerging alongside notions of the metaverse and the cognitive impact immersive digital worlds may have on top of embodied experiences. Daidova will present Audience as Virus, a performance dependent on audience participation as it examines the current limitations of AI’s predictive abilities. Both artists’ works raise awareness of technology’s growing homogeneity—its effects on humanity and creative attempts to break free.

Read MoreRhizome is pleased to announce a new workshop, "Signal Representation Theory for Artists," taught by Max Ardito. Implicit in generative AI, computer software, programming languages, hardware, and data itself, lies an unspoken ideology to which we consent as both artists and consumers: that of signal representation. Signal representation theory is a field that is concerned with the representation of real-world phenomena—language, image, sound—through ideas and structures in pure mathematics. Signal representations are depictions of the world, no different than paintings, poetry, or sheet music.
