Artists like Sougwen Chung have been exploring human-machine collaboration for more than a decade.
Their work offers an unexpected lens for understanding the future of AI agents.
#AI #Art #Bytesize #SougwenChung
As long as AGI systems do not have a physical body that can smell, taste, see or touch, they might let us stay here for a little while longer.
We may soon have AI agents that can run companies, write code, and complete tasks autonomously.
But even the most advanced systems still lack something fundamental:
a body that can sense the world.
That limitation might keep humans in the loop longer than many assume.

Across countries, languages and cultures, I remember all of them.
Happy International Women’s Day. There’s still much work to be done. Let's make sure rising professionals today will never be subjected to such behaviors #internationalwomensday
I remember you, boss, who stopped talking to me after I sent an email to complain about an arbitrary requirement made by your VP, a guy who made all the women in the building scared to complain about anything.
I remember you, famous collector, and how you surrounded yourself with strong women as your subordinates. I remember how a colleague, herself a famous artist and scholar, told me you forced a kiss on her when you were alone with her, and how she knew there’s no point complaining to anyone
I remember you, famous artist and professor, who was so beloved by feminist and leftist scholars, but all your art students talked about how much you loved hitting on them. I avoided you throughout my career.
I remember you, famous artist and educator, who loved coming on to young students, and I remember how my partner made me promise I will join her whenever we needed to meet you.
I remember you, the boss who loved to cheat on his wife on business trips, and slapped me on my butt at a company party in front of everyone, even though I was high up on the chain. I was 24 years old.
2026 encapsulates a tension between digital and impermanent technological advances and a renewed insistence on the tactile, physical presence of art objects that are produced through a contemplative, thoughtful, and intentional process
As doomsday scrolling accelerates, artists and audiences turn toward contemplation, materiality, and presence
2026 is all about the tension between accelerated technologies and the renewed interest in slow art production and deep reflection and looking
Can we have a mini-podcast for movies hat did not age well? I'll start: Watching Get Him to the Greek in 2026 is a cringe fest @billsimmons.bsky.social
Thank you so much for coming!

#Photography #GroupExhibition
Perhaps, if we see more of ourselves reflected in this way, we will ameliorate some of the damages caused by loneliness. Some experts suggest not all impacts of this condition are negative, others seek to eradicate it. We wanted to shine a light on the space loneliness occupies in our lives.
Photography has the unique capacity to capture one’s experience, and render it visible for others to see; for others to see themselves, and see their own experience reflected by others. It’s an opening point, an invitation for a conversation about each other’s humanity.
Loneliness is impacting each and every one of us. It is the lens through which we see the world in the 21st century.
My new curated exhibition responds to this global crisis with projects by 40+ international invited that explore its emergence in all facets of our lives

In short, it’s the year of #AI and #robots, and they are making their way from the sidelines to center stage as we speak
@apnews.com reports that the biggest buzzword on everybody’s mind was #physicalAI, a term used by #Nvidia to describe AI models that are trained in virtual environments using synthetic data, and are then deployed as physical machines.
January opened with the #CES2026 #tech convention in Las Vegas, where companies parade new developments, gadgets and products that will be released throughout the year.
Prediction: 2026 will see a heightened focus on machines’ capacity to respond to different situations by finding solutions that require creative thinking. In other words, to respond more like humans.
Just what we needed.
When This is 40 feels like a documentary with a tragic ending #perimenopause #perimenopausebrain
When your brain spends 12 hours trying to match Claire Danes’ name to her face #perimenopause #perimenopausebrain
Is this institutionalization — so soon after the crypto bubble burst — an admission that the future has already passed?
Curious how others working in digital art or blockchain culture are reading this moment.
#digitalart #NFTs
When platforms start building museums, it’s usually a sign they’re thinking about legacy, not disruption.
OpenSea’s announcement of a digital NFT art museum makes me wonder whether the attempt to canonize “originators” says more about where NFTs are headed than where we once assumed they would go
2025 deserves to see me in green velvet pajamas as it walks out the door. #HappyNewYear
We are going to a #NewYear party that has pajamas for dress code, and honestly, nothing can make me happier. 2025 does not deserve me putting make up and looking cute.
