Join us for an engaging two-part interactive lecture series exploring the captivating realm of human-machine symbiosis through the innovative work of artist and MIT-trained roboticist Alexander Reben. For millennia, civilizations have employed art to express power structures, spirituality, and cultural foundations. Today, we stand at a new threshold as artificial intelligence redefines the creative landscape. 

Reben's exhibition at the Crocker, AI Am I? Artificial Intelligence as Generated by Alexander Reben, illuminates the potential of AI in the arts, drawing on Marshall McLuhan's concept of art as a "Distant Early Warning System" for cultural shifts. As AI's ability to create "art" takes the spotlight, what transformations await our culture? Bring your insights and questions to this thought-provoking lecture series and prepare to consider the future of art's role in shaping our world.
