One of the featured artists, Steve Dellicarpini, collaborated with the AI program ChatGTP to create a unique piece titled \u201cBlue Screen of Red.\u201d This piece consists of a grid of fans equipped with GPUs and blue lights that change to red and vary in speed. Dellicarpini even asked the AI to help with the title, which expresses thoughts on technology and its overwhelming nature.<\/p>\n
Ceramic artist Virginia San Fratello also embraces tech in her crafting. She uses robotic assistance to design modern ceramics with intricate textures, employing a programming language known as G-code.<\/p>\n
Nick Dong presents \u201cVictory Banner of Enlightenment,\u201d featuring 40 handmade brass singing bowls. This installation incorporates electronics and a microcomputer, symbolizing enlightenment over conflict through the lens of traditional victory banners.<\/p>\n
Shannon Wright’s journey began during the pandemic when she couldn\u2019t access a woodshop. She learned 3D modeling, leading to her works displayed in the exhibit, including \u201cExodus II,\u201d a 3D printed sculpture, and \u201cRide,\u201d a model accompanied by a projected animation.<\/p>\n
Several artists convey the emotional impacts of technology using more classical art forms. Bing Zhang’s works, \u201cTouch\u201d and \u201cSubway,\u201d explore how digital devices can create feelings of isolation. \u201cSubway\u201d vividly depicts commuters absorbed in their gadgets, disconnected from each other.<\/p>\n
Siana Smith\u2019s \u201cFamily Time\u201d captures her family in their living room, each engaged with their own laptops but united in playing the same game. Her piece “Devirtualization” contrasts two images of the same young woman\u2014one smiling while looking at her phone, the other frowning as she looks away.<\/p>\n
Children\u2019s book illustrations by David Biedrzycki tell a tale of a robot named Robot, who, while trying to keep up in a warehouse, gains unexpected experiences in music and art after a detour for reprogramming.<\/p>\n
Artist Robynn Smith integrates her travel photos into mixed media paintings, reflecting on the complexities of humanity. Meanwhile, Pantea Karimi uses digitally drawn prints to honor the “Women, Life, Freedom” movement in Iran, illustrating ancient Persian history with modern female figures advocating for autonomy.<\/p>\n
For nature enthusiasts, Na Omi Judy Shintani and Colin Wright created an interactive work titled \u201cWorms surface\/Mimizu izuru,\u201d inspired by the Japanese calendar\u2019s micro-seasons. It highlights the arrival of rainy May days when worms emerge from the earth.<\/p>\n
Salma Arastu\u2019s series \u201cMycelial Flow\u201d uses digital and mixed media to celebrate mycelium, the life-giving network of fungi below the forest floor, emphasizing its role in maintaining ecological balance and healing the environment.<\/p>\n
