Ryat Yezbick and Milo Talwani

The Innocence of Unknowing is an AI-driven film and performance project that investigates how mass shootings are mediated, framed, and normalized through broadcast news. Using an AI they trained to think like a humanities scholar, the artists examine media from the 1960s to 2025.

Quantum noise becomes rain in a universe inspired by vernacular cultures of computation. Rods trace the 28 Lunar Mansions; tatami and reeds ground sky, earth and human. Embodied ritual gestures attune the installation. Every 28 minutes, a sonic ecology is reborn.

Sasha Stiles

An immersive generative language environment that advances poetry as a defining medium of the 21st century, and explores “poetic intelligence” (the intertwining of emotion and algorithm to make meaning) as a model for how technology can deepen, rather than diminish, our humanity.

ShanMu Sun and Ruiqi Zhang

A minimal theater within a game engine foretells the failed future of automation and sketches an alternative trajectory for artificial intelligence.

Suzueri (Elico Suzuki)

This media installation overlays the narrative of Hedy Lamarr—the Hollywood actress who co-invented the precursor to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth—with visible light communication, critically examining women’s marginalized contributions to science history.

Willea Zwey

A 24/7 live generative system structurally designed to fail at perfect preservation by turning live footage into algorithmic abstraction and AI synthesis while withholding archival access. With intentional data decay, it contemplates modern digital preservation and human memory.

Yuma Kishi

xoxo-skeleton inverts the human-AI relation. Inside a 2.5-meter ceremonial ribcage, MaryGPT, a model trained on Shelley's Frankenstein, moves the wearer through robotic arms, slowing our daily surrender of judgment to AI into a rite one body can feel.

Zeno Gries

Norbert Wiener, the originator of cybernetics and foundational thinker for artificial intelligence, is conjured from the dead as a machine learning model to reflect on the legacy of his theories and relive his death.
