Read MoreShowing as part of TECHNE @ BAM from Jan 8-11, The Golden Key immerses visitors in the mythical fantasies of an artificially intelligent machine as it composes a never ending story. The work imagines a future world that has endured the severest impacts of climate change. "The Golden Key" is an artifact, a time capsule, a provocation that was left behind in the last days of the old world. It invites participants to reconstruct a lost mythological history by interacting with digital prompts displayed on the exhibition floor. As the narrative progresses, a flowing sequence of stories, visuals, and audio is created by combining visitors' input with an AI system built on tens of thousands of folktales from around the old world, a range of narrative fragments reflecting our most fundamental concerns.

Read MoreThe Summer Showcase brings together a selection of recent XR projects created by artists in the Onassis ONX membership. Using a diversity of narrative and aesthetic tactics, the works on display illuminate stories of migration, marginalization, and transfiguration. The XR field is grounded here in physical space by mixed-media assemblage and sculpture. In some cases, tactile installations point to a third space of ritual. In others, physical-digital dynamics frame statements on history and identity. In all of the works on view, fantasy plays a key role in bridging the gap between what is and what could be.

The initiative brings together artists and technologists to explore challenges and issues affecting humanity today. This year’s program features artists Laura Splan and Eva Daidova. Splan is developing Metafrictions, a work that examines new epistemologies emerging alongside notions of the metaverse and the cognitive impact immersive digital worlds may have on top of embodied experiences.
