A video game art experience where a Diasporic space traveler returns to their home planet to summon ancestors for the ultimate cosmic ride in a decked-out jeep.
Eli Joteva, Provides Ng, Alexey Yansitov (Ya Nzi)
A speculation on the future of broadcasting cinema emerging from contemporary trends in live streaming culture, volumetric cinema, AI deep fakes and personalized narratives. This project configures a new aesthetic vocabulary that entangles different scales, temporalities, and affective phenomenologies.
Isabel Beavers, Richelle Gribble, Maru Garcia, Julian Stein
How are we co-creating relationships with nature? These works interrogate artificial materials in existing ecologies, position humans as tools of remediation, and speculate future hybrid techno-ecologies.
Jody Zellen
"Avenue S" a new addition to "Ghost City," 1998-2020, an ongoing creation of new web pages containing fragmented images and texts that are a poetic meditation on isolation. As we stay at home or walk alone wearing masks, I wanted to provide an alternative experience.
Lee Tusman
A generative virtual DIY collective artspace community that is birthed and comes into being online and simultaneously in IRL events. It is a virtual DIY artspace in the tradition of warehouse art communities and alternative art venues, imagining a new future for online co-creativity.
Maru Garcia
A remediation experiment will be running, exploring the possibility of bioremediation of lead-contaminated soil through humans, plants, fungi, and fish. Content coming from the cameras will be gathered frequently, allowing us to be part of this transformation.
Roger Kim
An interactive web-based installation that uses the classical Chinese idea of five elements (火水木金土) to explore perspectives that contradict and coexist at the same time. Visitors to the web-page will manipulate elements, and see how they interact while trying to make them harmonize.
Shan Wu
Connects expired food with a concept from Buddhism — Bardo, a liminal state between death and rebirth. Through personification and hosting a funeral ceremony for expired food, Bardo offers a humble disbelief and repentance that calls for consideration and cautiousness within modern culture.
Siri Lee
An animated webcomic that explores the U.S.'s contradictory entanglement of junk food, fatphobia, (dis)embodiment, eating disorders, the fossil fuel industry, eroticism, and climate grief. What, really, is the difference between our body fat and motor oil?
Tahnee Gehm
The gARden allows you to enjoy a little AR nature in the home! Print and cut out the AR markers, then place them around your home and use your phone to view them. gARden allows an extra level of augmented play, using physical objects to control the experience.

Slitscope (Kim Jaemin, Kim Keunhyoung)
It is an intangible hypothesis of dance choreographed by artificial intelligence: it was a ritual that mediated the sky and the earth, and a recreation that everyone could enjoy. Artificial intelligence breaks down the boundary between proposal and play and repeats empty gestures with transcendental actions in which the boundary becomes a domain.
Janet Sternburg
Drawing from LIMBUS, her 2018 exhibition at USC Fisher Museum of Art, Janet Sternburg will be exploring this word of many meanings, among them the rim of the eyeball where stem cells maintain and replenish the cornea. Can art-making help to replenish what has been lost? Can stem cells help us to find a generative way of being?
Jingjie Chen
Empty Dreams is a journey about finding oneself, about heading towards destinations that are origins. It is a narrative experience where the player explores a world of consciousness and memories.
Alex Rickett and John Brumley
Software Etc. is a digital mall-simulation environment that allows human passerby to interact with Simulated shoppers walk around a virtual reimagining of the Westside Pavilion Mall in Los Angeles.
Elsie Wang
Intimacy is a two-player game that expresses an intimate human relationship. While the goal of the game is ambiguous, each player uses a single button on a custom controller to make the characters collide with one another. As the characters collide and become closer, they make a sound that can be interpreted as pleasure or pain, while slowly submerging underwater.
Miller Klitsner
Real Shadows Shine is a puzzle game about... shadows. You are in the role of the sun, watching over the pilgrimage of a small being as it makes it way across a desert. Using the contours of the barren landscape, You must shield the pilgrim from its biggest obstacle; yourself.
Michael Luo
In Everyone in Their Right Place, you play as a ghost of a damaged teenager trying to navigate his way through all of his traumatizing memories and find a way to survive Dr. Y’s hellish clinic.
Workshops & Conversations
This PDF can be used to make a paper peep box that celebrates, represents and shares stories and images of resistance related to current protests, marches, monument topplings and other direct actions in solidarity with Black Lives Matter and other organizations that center and amplify Black voices, knowledge, and experience. This PDF can be used by adults and younger folx as a creative prompt to commemorate, teach, or otherwise value community actions and the challenging of the status quo.
A remote workshop hosted by Jessy Escobedo, Lilyan Kris and Selwa Sweidan in which participants build an emotional toolkit by mapping “personal cosmologies” (i.e. worldviews or mental models) with the intent to radically liberate (or ground) themselves within our current socio-emotional context, while embracing the spiritual and techno-spiritual.
