The Artist Becomes the Tool: The Impact of AI in the Art World — The Meridian Two new galleries, Offline and Heft, launched in April on the Lower East Side and specialize in digital art, or “NFTs, non-fungible tokens,” and AI art. However, AI is divisive in the art world.

I was interviewed for this article about artists using A.I. in their work:

New project from me, "Average Citizen", a public data sculpture that assigns visitors average waiting times for US public services. The object measures only presence and time wasted waiting.

Next Scrapyard Challenge will be March 10th at Jersey City fab Lab!

My paper, “Artificial Intelligence Meets Critical Media Art Part 2” was accepted to the Electronic Visualisation & the Arts conference in London this July 13-17, 2026. Excited to present at this event for the second time. @evalondonconf. www.eva-london.org

I made a new climate related project, “Unequal Weather” that looks at how even though a NYC’s weather report says one thing, economic spacing and location mean something else in weather to different neighborhoods .
