Herndon and Dryhurst bring the perspective of artists whose work consistently pushes into new territory, uncovering the potential of where technology can take us all while staying grounded in questions of who holds control and what it means for culture at large. Obrist, drawing on his deep immersion in contemporary art, brings the perspective of a historian and curator, asking what it means to make art not just with new tools, but out of the rules themselves and how this moment will shape what comes next.
