Third Thursdays Featuring The Bass Dialogues with artist Lawrence Lek

Artist Lawrence Lek and Claudia Mattos, associate curator at the Moody Center for the Arts at Rice University in Houston and formerly associate curator of new media at The Bass will discuss the ethical and cultural implications of AI as both subject and storyteller. Framed around the exhibition “Lawrence Lek: NOX Pavilion”, which is a newly-commissioned multimedia installation exploring artificial intelligence and the emotional dimensions of technology, the conversation examines questions of narrative, simulation and the evolving boundaries between human and machine.
