Yet its discourse is fraught with fear, misunderstanding, and disconnection. By blending Artificial Intelligence with more traditional artistic expression,&nbsp;<em>Generation to Generation: Conversing with Kindred Technologies<\/em>&nbsp;cultivates new pathways for imagination while nurturing the roots of our creative inheritance, and the always-evolving dialogue between art and innovation.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This groundbreaking exhibition illuminates the intertwined evolution of humanity and technology, inviting viewers to reconsider the relationship between humans and the tools we invent through an immersive fusion of sculptures, prints, electronics, music, movement, and poetry, all born from creative collaboration with AI.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This exhibition is part of the Center for 21st Century Studies&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/c21\/events\/current-programs\/aesthetics-art-ai\/2\/\">Aesthetics, Art, &amp; AI series<\/a>, produced in collaboration with the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/humanities.wisc.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Center for the Humanities<\/a>&nbsp;at UW-Madison, with support from the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/chcinetwork.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Consortium for Humanities Centers and Institutes<\/a>&nbsp;(CHCI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"has-alpha-channel-opacity uwm-c-hr--center-short\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gallery-hours\">Gallery Hours<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list uwm-c-list--horizontal\">\n<li>Feb 12: 11 AM &#8211; 7 PM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feb 13: 11 AM &#8211; 6 PM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feb 14: 11 AM &#8211; 6 PM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feb 17: 12 PM &#8211; 6 PM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feb 18: 12 PM &#8211; 6 PM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feb 19: 12 PM &#8211; 6 PM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feb 20: 11 AM &#8211; 6 PM<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"has-alpha-channel-opacity \" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-about-the-artists\">About the Artists<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefense.com%2Fv3%2F__https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sashastiles.com__%3B!!Mak6IKo!JSnKAT7cJJgphLrlTcr1qhEehDJMWGO2__PvrqESXEC57JT0aCzTHrzv8WyXCJQ1Gge4C6tjS74pGL0%24&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cjohung%40uwm.edu%7C06276546fb714b75d54808ddfb8d86f1%7C0bca7ac3fcb64efd89eb6de97603cf21%7C0%7C0%7C638943307465727912%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=uAr5KemcEslSIttecmDSe79YDvDbwUcXSs%2F20ZWgexk%3D&amp;reserved=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sasha Stiles<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong>is a first-generation Kalmyk-American poet, artist and AI researcher whose work bridges tradition and innovation through hybrid poetics, generative imagination and collaborative intelligence.
