“A Spectre Haunts America: Data, Power, and Artificial Intelligence” artist talk with Cam Smith
April 19 @ 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM

Cam Smith takes us on a tour of the wacky ideologies of the tech world and reveals how they shaped his path as an artist.

Cam Smith is a Seattle-based artist whose work explores the way that artificial intelligence can be used for surveillance and control.

You can find Cam Smith’s work on view in Haunted. This exhibition explores cinema as spectral memory, temporal disruption, and the protean meaning of being haunted. Sited at the intersection between cultural memory and lost futures, Haunted crosses sensory and disciplinary thresholds, examining the ways in which the past —both real and imagined —inform our present and future. Haunted contains moving image, installation, sculptural, and photographic works conjured from architecture, technology, pop culture, heritage, and nature. These works dissolve the separation between now and then, visitations to that which is present yet not real.

Evanescent portals beckon.
