Additionally, CDT is excited to debut the 2023 Tech Prom Artist Exhibition, a one-night-only group exhibit bringing together a collection of talented artists and artwork exploring algorithmic systems and themes at the heart of the technology policy discussions happening today.
- Chris Combs, an artist based in Washington, D.C. and Mount Rainier, Maryland, will show interactive artworks that explore themes of surveillance, privacy, and algorithmic failure—and react to viewers with facial recognition and motion sensing.
- Billy Friebele, an interdisciplinary artist working in the Washington, D.C. region, will exhibit pieces from his series entitled, Machines Learn from the River – digital images generated by AI juxtaposed with natural materials from the Anacostia river.
- Curry J. Hackett, an award-winning transdisciplinary designer, public artist, and educator, will exhibit Quilted Imaginaries, the latest in an ongoing body of research and speculative work dealing with issues of Black culture, land, agency, geography, and mobility. This work uses artificial intelligence to dream up scenes of Black gatherings, architectures, and material languages in a speculative (yet plausible) “near-future.”
The 2023 Tech Prom Artist Exhibition is sponsored by Pinterest & WilmerHale. These sponsors have offered their support independent of the artists and their work, and have no editorial input on the artists’ work or themes, nor CDT’s curation of the event. All artists in the Artist Exhibition have been compensated as part of their effort in bringing their work to our event.
