Closing Show

Most people have complex feelings about rapidly advancing technology that may one day surpass human capabilities and reinforce existing inequalities. Using broken mirrors, stained glass, and found objects, Green invites the viewer to break away from fears of obsolescence and embrace a worldview in which we are deeply connected, infinitely capable, and co-creators of our future.
