This event showcases new works created artists Andrew Demirjian, Foreign Objects, Kinlaw, Fei Liu, Sarah Rothberg, and Mark Ramos & Ziyang Wu as part of a unique collaboration between NEW INC, Rhizome, and the Experiments in Art & Technology program at Nokia Bell Labs. It also offers a platform to discuss the state of art-tech interaction and the opportunities of interdisciplinary work between engineers and artists envisioning deep futures and recovering essential pasts.

Last year, Rhizome and NEW INC welcomed a cohort of artists and designers to the cultural incubator for a special yearlong opportunity to pursue their interdisciplinary practices in conversation and collaboration with the research community at Nokia Bell Labs. This event is also accompanied by an online exhibition, First Look: New Art Online, featuring works resulting from this partnership.
