From a CRT line to an AI turtle.
Yesterday MMCA (@MMCAKOREA) opened Nostalgia for Technology at Cheongju, through Mar 14, 2027: 26 works by 23 artists across more than 60 years of new media. Nam June Paik's Zen for TV (1963, remade 1995) turns a broken horizontal line upright into meditation. Ian Cheng's (@eyecheng) Thousand Lives (2023) is a real-time AI simulation whose virtual turtle searches for food, rests and responds to its surroundings. The collection show runs from electronic circuits and CRT TVs to generative art.
A special cut of generative history, today.
At 15:00–16:30 London GMT (10:00–11:30 Toronto EST), V&A South Kensington (@V_and_A) screens Ben Spilling's special cut of Generative, followed by a Q&A with the director, producer and digital art curator Melanie Lenz. Rare archive and interviews with Vera Molnar, Manfred Mohr and a new generation trace how code and chance entered the studio. The free screening accompanies Degrees of Disruption: Vera Molnar and Generative Art, on view through May 30, 2027.
Measuring as a way of making worlds.
Harvard FAS CAMLab (@HarvardCAMLab) opens Measuring the Cosmos: From Mandala to the Latent Space today, through Nov 21 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The exhibition considers AI latent spaces as cosmograms alongside older ways of mapping the universe. Seven artists include Behnaz Farahi, Rohini Devasher and Yufeng Zhao, whose Earth is the Oldest Stereoscope pairs simultaneous views of the Moon from Boston and Santiago in dialogue with Paik. Today's opening is 14:00–18:00 Cambridge EST (the same in Toronto); regular hours are Fri–Sun, 11:00–16:00 EST. Free; registration required.
Three final clocks after Bitcoin Amsterdam.
Bitcoin Museum & Art Gallery (@BMAG_HQ) says its three remaining auctions close today, with scheduled hammers at 14:00, 14:30 and 15:00 Amsterdam CET (08:00, 08:30 and 09:00 Toronto EST). Late bids extend the clock. They follow BMAG's 20-work, six-artist presentation for the Nov 5–6 conference at SugarFactory in Halfweg. Fixed-price works are also listed in the online collection.
Tonight, the network becomes the medium.
Separately, Bitcoin Art Society (@BtcArtSociety) holds Art on Bitcoin: Public Show at What Is Happening Here Gallery, Amsterdam, 17:00–19:00 CET (11:00–13:00 Toronto EST). BitArt (@BitArt21) presents Mosaic, whose rules translate satoshi positions and UTXOs into an evolving visual and musical composition; the artist counts more than 127 million tiles. CyberSea (@CyberSeaNFT) presents Code Is Art, followed by a panel. Registration for the presentation evening is subject to approval.
