Ends Nov 2, 2025
Glendale Library, Arts & Culture and ReflectSpace are pleased to present "Reimagining Algorithms: Cultural Heritage in the Age of AI." “Reimagining Algorithms” is an art-infused, researched-based and technologically adventurous exhibition that highlights how artists re-imagine and re-invent culture while also casting light on how the same technology is used for its destruction. Embedded in diverse cultural and historical narratives, the artists employ varied media and processes to rethink and recreate their culture through technology. In parallel, researchers and cultural workers delve into ways technology is employed to erase the art and culture of indigenous and colonized communities. The exhibit brings these two seemingly opposing polarities into proximity and questions their implications on our use of technology and AI (Artificial Intelligence) on cultural memory and identity. Collectively, the artists, researchers and cultural workers in “Reimagining Algorithms” weave a tapestry of work that re-creates culture with new technological imaginings while also recognizing how systems can harness its algorithmic violence. “Reimagining Algorithms” is curated by Ara & Anahid Oshagan and Monica Hye Yeon Jun and will be on view August 16 - November 2, 2025.
