VIOLET: Art x Tech Exhibition (opening day)

Sat at 12:30pm · San Francisco
⭐️UPDATE⭐️ Sat is FULL! Sunday viewing also available June 28: 10am - 1pm Come by if you can’t make it on Sat 😄 https://partiful.com/e/5zex1R6thZHJF4QJ4QWw?c=dJkDGKsh Hey friends! 💜 You are cordially invited to Iris’ first solo exhibition in San Francisco! VIOLET is an exhibition that focuses on our relationship with AI, and what it feels like to live with machine systems. This is a multimedia project I have been developing over the past five months, showcasing my experimentation with new mediums including digital collage, interactive elements, and physical installations (that means zero photography! Gosh I am nervous) If you are interested in conversations around art x tech, or you love art works you can interact with, come hang out together with some snacks and drinks 🍺💜 👇🏻More about VIOLET👇🏻 After moving from Hong Kong to San Francisco, Iris found herself immersed in a city where technology quietly structures everyday life, and where conversations around AI are often framed in technical terms. VIOLET emerges from a personal tension, an existential crisis in the artist’s encounters with AI. While its possibilities are undeniable, something about our interaction and use of AI remains difficult to articulate, a feeling that is both empowering and unsettling. VIOLET is a show that brings this ambiguity into the physical space through digital collage, written correspondence with AI, and interactive installations. By staging three modes of human-AI relationship : intimacy, control, and projection, VIOLET asks what do these relationships inform us of human value, purple and identity? VIOLET is a part of the Artist-In-Residence program of Jettison Creative.
