Program
4pm – 8 pm I View Gallery Pinar Yoldas: Synaptic Sculpture.
4pm – 6pm I Family-Friendly Art Activity in The Hub
Create a “Not Quite Right” collage inspired by Pinar Yoldas’ exhibition, Synaptic Sculpture. The assemblages explore the uncanny realm of AI-generated imagery, where the algorithmic mind occasionally falters, birthing compositions that subtly deviate from reality and expose their synthetic genesis.
5pm – 6pm I Panel discussion: The Edge: AI + Human Creativity
Join us in the theater at Mingei International Museum for a lively panel discussion, The Edge: AI + Human Creativity.
ICA San Diego Curator Jordan Karney Chaim moderates a conversation featuring artist Pinar Yoldas, Sylvia Cartwright, MD, and Suman Kanuganti, Co-Founder and CEO of Personal.ai.
Discussion includes 15 minutes of Q&A.
The panel will be conducted in English.
