New Silent

New Silent Series

Organized by Lauren Cornell, Director of Rhizome

The New Silent Series will present contemporary art engaged with new technology. The series will include screenings and performances, as well as a critical conversational strand that will bring together leading scholars, artists, critics, and public figures to illuminate the complex interactions between technology, culture, and creative practice. The series will present artists working at the furthest reaches of technological experimentation as well as those responding to the broader aesthetic and political implications of new tools and media. The New Silent Series takes its name from the generational theories of Neil Howe and William Strauss, who have written about the deep influence that new technologies will have on the generation born after 1996.

The New Silent Series takes place every second Friday of the month. Visit Rhizome for audio/video documentation and a list of previous events. For press inquiries, contact events@rhizome.org.
