A selection of works from this year’s CURRENTS 2026 Art & Technology Festival, where artificial life, material transformation, voice, ecology, and collective interaction converge through experimental media practices. ✤ CURRENTS 2026 Art & Technology Festival | June 12 - June 21 ✤ El Museo Cultural | 555 Camino de la Familia ✤ Early Bird Tickets out now! ⋆˙⟡ ⋆.˚ ⊹₊⟡ ⋆ Clay Pillar by Interactive Items @interactive.items is an interactive phygital installation where visitors sculpt clay and speak prompts to generate evolving AI imagery in real time, exploring authorship, embodiment, and collective creativity. SHAPE SHIFT by Alex Olwal @hybridsurface is a series of kinetic sculptures that use electromagnetic forces to choreograph magnetic fluid into shifting movements that blur the boundaries between chaos and control, animate and inanimate. Darwin’s Chorus by Canton Becker @cantonbecker + Jeffrey Ventrella transforms artificial life simulation into a playful sonic ecosystem where evolving digital creatures develop songs, mating preferences, and emergent musical “tribes.” Floral Migas by Victoria DeBlassie @victoriadeblassie laser-cuts colonial imagery into handmade laminated natural materials, weaving together flora, technology, labor, and Portuguese colonial history through intricate symbolic surfaces. Sounding Clouds by Angelina Eng @angie_eng_intermedia invites visitors to listen to and vocalize the contours of Santa Fe’s clouds through illuminated photographs and Deep Listening practices that translate shifting skies into collective sound. ——— Support from #neaArts #NMArts #SFArtsandCulture #SFEconomicDevelopment #SFCountyLTab mediaTheFoundation KindWorldFoundation

Cities are saturated with signals. Very few are designed to hold meaning. I’m proud (and a bit shy) to share my first curatorial large-scale digital art exhibition, launched across 2000 screens in Dubai and finally in London — two cities emblematic of speed, density, and continuous transformation. The Beauty of Impermanence as a Generative Condition explores how nature, belief, and cosmology are reinterpreted through computation. Here, impermanence becomes a generative force — expressed through evolving forms, repetition, and systems in constant transformation. Rather than static images, the works unfold over time — reflecting a world shaped by speed, networks, and continuous change. This exhibition brings together 14 brilliant artists from across the world, each contributing distinct approaches to generative and time-based practices. @mrk.ism @invisiblejam @canvas.51 @aryunasong @vollut @_jeanchristophe @alyona.movko.maegi @interactive.items @into.the.grid @tripura_maha @yo_mo_yo @kondakovvadim 🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶 Several works have already been acquired, marking an important milestone for the platform and the artists involved. Thank you @ioginality for the invitation and trust, @elevisionmedia for the opportunity. Explore the show and collect your art at ioginality.io Part II coming soon.

First sale at our brand-new exhibition “The Beauty of Impermanence as a Generative Condition.” “Walk” from the series Semantics by Interactive Items Art Group @interactive.items In Semantics, language stops describing the world and starts producing it. In a prompt-driven culture, writing becomes a way of seeing — where letters turn into images and syntax becomes visual structure. Meaning appears in the gap between text and perception. The exhibition has only just begun. Find your work on the IOGINALITY.

The TechnoMirage publication is out on Metalabel.com! @metalabel__ An archive of the TechnoMirage event series, bringing together exhibitions, talks and artist interviews that examine the illusion of progress projected by AI and exploring how creative practitioners can reclaim agency through exhibitions, discourses, and practices that shape more equitable relationships with emerging technologies.

Psychedelic events are our love language to the community, and RESET is that moment where we hold the boom box over our head like John Cusack. 🍄📻 Our rainbow ritualistic offerings to NYC. It’s a night we’ll spend months carefully planning and prepping for, with one goal in mind: making sure everyone feels welcome, safe, and able to have some good, clean, trippy fun. RESET is always a deeply collaborative creative project that somehow comes together a minute before doors open. People are running around scrambling to get in place, then Joe shifts the lights, we open the doors, and suddenly… it’s a vibe. 🌈🎵✨ Maybe it’s your vibe too? We hope so. And if it is, we’ll see you at the next one! (TBA) Again thank you to: DJs  @preskool   @axelmiarka @suzycbaker   Artists:

Biggest compliment at Friday night’s RESET? When asked how they heard about us, an attendee said: “My therapist told me I should go.” 🧠🍄🙌 SO many incredible collaborators came together to bring the Fearless Future theme to life, envisioning a psychedelic world where technology, art, nature, music, nourishment, and community coexist harmoniously. An enormous thank you to our DJs @preskool and @suzycbaker for keeping the dance floor electrically alive all night, and to Axel for guiding us through a beautifully chill ambient journey downstairs. To the artists:
@paolinart_8   who transformed the top floor into an insanely cool immersive neon psychedelic environment.
@oona.frost who brought the Dream Museum - the biggest, baddest octopus I’ve ever danced with.
@katya.goltseva for her collaborative art piece that invited guests to co-create.
@psychedforclimateaction for coordinating that activation and sharing their work on raising consciousness to combat climate change.
 And @thevisceralglitch for his dazzling augmented reality pieces. To our tech wizards:
Sponsor @cobblestonelabs , for immersive projections and a wildly fun diffusion AI mirror.
Sponsor @interactive.items for their Octologue installation, where guests conversed with seven simulated psychedelic perspectives. (Maria Sabina consistently took the lead 👏)
 And, as always, @joepetrows because the lights were, unsurprisingly, fucking amazing and to @artbathnyc for still being our gearshare buddies. To our activators:
 Zeke at @bkmushroom for an incredible merch table and PA trading cards.
@tremaynearts for the deeply tapped-in astrology readings.
 And longtime collaborator @void_denizen for his Oracular Interactions. For nourishing our guests all night, thank you to Eliott and @hekatenyc for an amazing zero-proof bar, our sponsors @drinkthepathfinder @drinkdirtyvirgin @amethystnaspirits , and Chef Brenda Egea for a delicious spread. And almost all the beautiful photos in this post are by our photographer @fakejosh . We know that’s a long thank-you list, but it truly takes a village. We’re so grateful to everyone who helped make RESET: Fearless Future possible. Stay tuned, NYC!

Preskool is our resident DJ. Not just because his sets are a BLAST to dance to, but because Larry holds and transmits a lineage of the psychedelic movement that shouldn’t be lost to time.

A past rooted in bravery, experimentation, anti-authoritarianism and the belief that positivity and joy are radical acts of resistance. In a world that’s constantly pitting Boomers against Millennials against Gen Z for the shallowest fucking reasons, we believe that intergenerational spaces are ancient… human… and critical to our future. Preskool is proof to me that joy is sustainable. That movements should honor their elders. And that a dance floor, when properly held, can become a modern-day form of shamanism. See it for yourself this Friday? 🍄💃🎟️🔗 in our bio

We’re thrilled to highlight one of our sponsors for RESET: Fearless Future, coming up on 1/2/2026! Interactive Items art group @interactive.items is a project exploring art that emerges here and now, through a live dialogue with the viewer. Its primary medium is real-time neural networks, dissolving the boundary between concept and execution to create artworks that unfold before the viewer’s eyes. A defining aspect of ii art group is its emphasis on co-creation. The audience is not merely an observer but an active participant whose inner world directly influences the final outcome. This approach unlocks boundless creative possibilities, transforming the artistic experience into a shared act of creation. ii art group was founded by Vadim and Alena Mirgorodskii, with significant support from Alexey Roslevich. Come join us, and see one of their incredible activations in-person!

GA Tier 1 tickets to RESET are going fast. 🔥 NYC 🍄🗽 Our next No-Alcohol, Late-Night Party BY psychonauts, FOR psychonauts lands 1/2/26. It’s hard to describe what these events are, and what they mean to our community, but we hope this video captures the vibe. It’s not just a party… it’s a portal that opens when hundreds of people align. A moment in time and space where we come together, on the same wavelength, to collectively embody and model a more harmonious world. (Our last RESET ended with the entire dance floor dissolving into the biggest group hug I’ve EVER witnessed.) We’re not here to remind you that the world is terrible right now. We’re here to remind you that IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE. So at the dawn of a New Year, we’re inviting you into a Fearless Future. Come shake off the collective despair that’s being constantly beamed into our psyches, and remember that with a little more vision and love, the future could still be a beautiful, joyful, and sustainable place for all of us. These events ALWAYS sell out (iykyk) 🎟️ Grab yours at the link in our bio. What’s your New Year’s Revolution? ✨ Special thanks to our sponsors: @interactive.items @hekatenyc and Cobblestone Labs And to promotional partners: @brooklynpsychedelicsociety @urbanindigenouscollective and @bkmushroom *And special brownie points if you know what this song is from, and why we chose it for this video* 🎸⏰⚡️ #fuckfear #happynofear #psychedelicevent #nycparties
