In partnership with OM and Punk6529, we're launching the Obscura Museum! Containing more than 80 gallery spaces in total, this first (alpha) version of the Obscura Museum showcases some of the main Obscura projects and commissions from Obscura season 1, as well as the entire Who We Are 200 collection, Carousel Curated, the Ukraine Emergency Dispatch and TWT 10K Curated. On the building side and the upper floors, individual galleries by tens of Obscura artists, collectors, partners and community members line the outer promenades of the building, making for many hours of exploring what is the cutting edge of photography creation in this new medium.

Ahead of this week's exhibit on generative art with Artsy and Vellum LA, Aya + Patricia El will join us on 3/22/22 to share their work, and how they use generative tools to forge a path for new languages in the realm of digital art and beyond. Aya is a multi-hyphenate creative, Artificial Intelligence (AI) artist, data scientist, and poetic meditation teacher; she co-creates with AI to generate visuals inspired by storytelling. Aya will discuss the development process of her two NFT collections: Restorative Afrofuturism and Generating Binti Worlds. Patricia El works across immersive technologies, social justice, audio-visual poetics, and storytelling to explore forms of collective (and personal) liberation, digital protest, and equity in the machine age. She will be sharing about her most recent project: In This Land NFTuesdayLA is made possible by the generous support of Kenetic Capital and Quantum, organized by Medusa Collection, and directed by Cody Edison.

Vellum LA's proof of attendance for the first solo show ever by a “decentralized autonomous artist, governed by the people.” Botto is an algorithm that produces work based on feedback from a community of surrounding stakeholders. The Decentralized Unicists brings this (literally) digital-born artist into a physical gallery setting—extending the social experiment initiated by the Botto community. In this act, Botto becomes an emissary artist from the future, revealing how the new modes by which art, emerging technologies, and society might interact in the years (or days) to come.

You are on Native land. The lands that you occupy used to be cared for entirely by Indigenous Peoples. The land, and resources it provides, was stolen in many ways. Acknowledging that the land used to be cared for by the ancestors of the Indigenous Peoples who are here today, who have endured historical traumas and continue to struggle for self determination, is just the first step. We urge you to go beyond recognizing the history that led you to be on the land you inhabit. Take action. Help Indigenous Peoples in the fight to protect the land because we are not just on it, we are part of it. The fight will continue until the Indigenous Peoples get the Land Back.

“To the teachers who believed in us, to the students who show up for us, to the artists who have come before us, and finally, to the many who have yet to come. Because of what we did today, it is all but certain.” - Andrew Wang Thank you for joining the OhhShiny Show
