Our mothers, our water, our peace<\/em> – Gyun Hur<\/b><\/h2>\n

6 – 11PM in B6\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This experience will begin by a tour of Gyun Hur’s exhibition at 6PM by the Executive Director of Flux projects Anne Archer Dennington and artist and activist Nicole Kang Ahn.<\/p>\n

Flux Projects<\/span><\/a> presents <\/span>Our mothers, our water, our peac<\/span><\/i>e. <\/span><\/i>Created <\/span>by Korean American artist Gyun Hur, this art installation reflects upon the Atlanta Asian community\u2019s resilience and love. Created in response to the escalation of Asian hate crimes during the pandemic, followed by the 2021 Atlanta spa shootings, Hur\u2019s project explores grief by inviting communities to reflect on their immigrant experience and offering a way for them to heal.<\/span><\/p>\n

A music score by Hahn Rowe accompanies the installation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last year, Hur began installing glass vessels within public and private spaces amongst Asian American communities. Holding local river or creek water, a total of 100 dispersed glass sculptures have served to seed conversations around intergenerational work and healing. Hur will recollect these vessels to create a communal site of reflection, gathering, and connection at Goat Farm. In the spirit of remembrance, lamentation, and celebration, \u201cOur mothers, our water, our peace<\/em>\u201d will remain on view for two weeks and offer performances, workshops, and artist talks \u2013 all free to the public.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our mothers, our waters, our peace, <\/span><\/i>Gyun Hur\u2019s immersive installation of more than 125 handblown, tear-shaped glass vessels, opens at the Goat Farm on Saturday, March 15 and showing until Sunday, March 30.<\/span><\/p>\n

medusai<\/strong><\/em>, Gil Weinberg<\/h2>\n

5 – 11 PM in Rodriguez\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

medusai<\/em> is an AI driven robotic sculpture that responds to and interacts with humans through sound, light, touch, and movement. Inspired by the Greek myth of Medusa, the sculpture features seven robotic arms in the form of snake hair installed on room-scale facial structure. Movement and tactile interaction with and around medusai are sensed and analyzed, leading the sculpture to follow visitors, pluck strings, and respond with electronic sound and light sequences.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The project is inspired by the Ancient Greek myth of Medusa, who was born as a mortal maiden known for her beauty and good nature. After being raped and abused, Medusa was cursed to become a snake haired monster who turns those who looks at her to stone. The project builds on this myth as a metaphor for the transformational effect of AI on culture and society. It reflects on the original good intentions and promises of AI as well as on its risks and mortal threats. The eerie and uncanny notion of AI-driven robotic snakes following and threatening humans is countered by the sculpture\u2019s potential to inspire visitors to push the boundaries of their creativity and expression by interacting with medusai\u2019s AI driven creative behaviors.<\/span><\/p>\n

As it relates to AI ethics, the project takes a Deceleration Position, encouraging visitors to approach the sculpture with caution. Inspired by the mythical Perseus, who avoided Medusa\u2019s petrifying eyes by slowly advancing towards her from behind with a mirror, visitors who avoid sudden and accelerated motions could enjoy the sculpture\u2019s musical and artistic responses. Fast and abrupt movements in front of medusai\u2019s<\/em> eyes will trigger the sculpture\u2019s petrifying behaviors including alarming sounds and threatening robotic motions.<\/span><\/p>\n

medusai<\/em> is a creation by Gil Weinberg, Professor and founding Director of Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology who will also speak at the 9:15PM discussion How can we promote AI and a digital world in service of shared creativity and human diversity?.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
