Curator Tour: Technologies of Relation

MASS MoCA members are invited to join Director of Curatorial Affairs Susan Cross for a members-only tour of the group exhibition, Technologies of Relation.

Exhibiting artists: Morehshin Allahyari; Pelenakeke Brown; Taeyoon Choi; Neema Githere; Mashinka Firunts Hakopian with Dahlia Elsayed, Andrew Demirjian, and Danny Snelson; Kite; Lauren Lee McCarthy; Analia Saban; and Roopa Vasudevan.

Working across mediums, addressing technology both with its own tools and through analog means, many of the artists featured in Technologies of Relation— skilled technologists — choose simpler materials to give shape to their ideas. Their works demystify technology, reminding us that it is neither neutral nor authoritative, or beyond our scope of influence. They bring it closer by relating emerging technologies to the ancient arts of weaving, tattooing, and divination. These artists look to ancestral traditions as models for making technology more accessible, and for ways of imagining (or remembering) how we can employ more ethics and care in the technological sphere.
