Over three days, the program moves between panel discussions, a séance inspired performance, an artist led sewing circle, an interactive workshop, and keynote lecture by poet and AI researcher Sasha Stiles.Together, these events examine what algorithmic tools make possible for artists today, new forms of collaboration, generation, and expression, alongside what they may constrain or displace, from embodied presence to the unpredictability of the human hand. What happens to creative connection when making is mediated by machines, and what is gained or lost in the process?Schedule: Dorothy Lemelson Keynote Lecture: Sasha Stiles Friday, October 2 - 6 PM - 7:30 PMRSVP Here - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/portland/2026-pnca-symposium-art-aura-and-the-algorithm/100001997912138990 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Art, Workshops, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Pacific Northwest College of Art - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Portland - **state**: OR - **country**: United States - **location**: Pacific Northwest College of Art - **lat**: 45.5272148 - **long**: -122.67790809999997 - **full address**: Pacific Northwest College of Art, 511 Northwest Broadway, Portland, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: 2026 PNCA Symposium: Art, Aura, and the Algorithm - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/3a8a7e8f8ccb2305186d3ae7504382bbf42b97e33ff0520d8e1f303b5a723678-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg?v=1786933026 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is 2026 PNCA Symposium: Art, Aura, and the Algorithm being held? - **A:** 2026 PNCA Symposium: Art, Aura, and the Algorithm takes place on Thu, 01 Oct, 2026 at 10:00 am to Sat, 03 Oct, 2026 at 12:00 pm at Pacific Northwest College of Art, 511 Northwest Broadway, Portland, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing 2026 PNCA Symposium: Art, Aura, and the Algorithm? - **A:** 2026 PNCA Symposium: Art, Aura, and the Algorithm is organized by Hallie Ford School of Graduate Studies at PNCA. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
