New School Exhibits, Podcasts, and Radio Shows to Inspire and Entertain You Through Winter Break
New School faculty and staff have created several projects and works to keep you entertained and engaged during the winter break. Spend some time exploring AI art and design projects or listening to engaging stories about culinary traditions, rave culture in New York City, urban agricultural policies and more.
The New School Art/Design + AI Exhibition
The New School Art/Design + AI exhibit features work by Parsons students, independent designers and artists who create art at the intersection of design and technology. These emerging artists and designers employ machine-enabled techniques to provoke dialogue about artistic agency, systemic biases, the nature of time and reality, and the role of humans in the creative process. A variety of themes are explored in the show, including identity and representation, which are examined in both personal and interpersonal settings. The exhibition is on view at the Arnold & Sheila Aronson Galleries, 66 5th Ave, New York, New York 10011, now through January 5, 2024.
