Exhibitions

José Andrés Mora: Truth’s Entropy
September 9 – October 10, 2026
Opening Reception: September 9 | 7 – 9pm

Eliciting a sense of displacement stemming from his experience of migration, Mora writes short poetic texts and grafts their words onto digital media, creating spatial text installations that disembody the language from any specific speaker. Truth’s Entropy is a text-based exhibition where the permanence of memory teeters at the edge of temporal inevitability. Mora’s artworks draw from the artist’s experience of geographic distance to invite contemplation of a subject’s relationship to family and home. Texts live as projections that physically crawl across the gallery walls, and as Wi-Fi radio frequency emissions detected by nearby devices.

IA Current 2026 Exhibition, Curated by Komal Lally
November 4 – December 5, 2026
Opening Reception: November 4 | 7 – 9pm

The 25th IA Current exhibition will examine how we can engage exploration, tinkering, and play to collectively reimagine an otherwise future for our technology and ourselves. How can we make play a conscious act, encouraging oddity and openness over consumption, with intention to experiment without reason? Call for artworks deadline September 6.

Self as Dataset: Animating the Body with Machine Learning
Punit
Saturday, December 12 | 12 – 4pm
$50 non-member, $30 member

Self As Dataset: Animating the Body with Machine Learning is for artists interested in AI and animation who want more authorship and control over their data than browser-based tools allow, without needing high-performance GPU systems or advanced technical background.

Over the span of the workshop, participants will unpack the gap between ethical intention and practical access in AI art, build simple datasets, translate movement into animated outputs, reflect on authorship, consent, and embodiment in contemporary AI systems through live demonstration, collaborative experimentation, and discussion.
