Reimagining Algorithms: Cultural Heritage in the Age of AI at ReflectSpace will explore various perspectives on the reimagining and erasure of art and culture in the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and question implications of technology on cultural memory and identity. Embedded in diverse cultural and historical narratives, the artists will employ varied media and processes to rethink and recreate their culture through technology. In parallel, researchers and cultural workers will delve into ways technology is employed to erase the art and culture of indigenous communities.

The work of these artists extends to the PassageWay, where the exhibition is expanded through research and documentation of current efforts to destroy culture heritage in Azerbaijani-occupied Artsakh/Karabagh and Israeli-occupied Gaza. 

Collectively, the artists, researchers and cultural workers in Reimagining Algorithms will weave a tapestry of technology that elevates culture to previously unimagined places while also recognizing how systems can harness its algorithmic and extreme violence.

Reimagining Algorithms: Cultural Heritage in the Age of AI is curated by Ara & Anahid Oshagan and Monica Hye Yeon Jun.
