𝒄0𝒎1𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒇 @𝒈𝒆 is a group exhibition featuring six NYC-based interactive media artists anecdoting on intimate processes of adolescence in technology.
From headsets to browsers to Dance Dance Revolution, these works find ways to carry forward the lightness, bravery, and tenderness that came with these foundational screens. The exhibition reframes technological nostalgia as an active process of becoming rather than passive longing for the past.
Curated and produced by @queeniwu
Works by @chrissybrimmage, @yumedaaa, @jackieis.online, @_lukeshannon, @queeniwu, @lesliexin.nyc
@all.st.nyc
77 E 3rd Street, NYC
September 5–7
Opening reception 9/5 @ 7–9pm
