What is like to be a River? Perhaps we're part of a larger process that's unfolding. Maybe awareness isn't just a phenomena of humans, but something happening simultaneously across scales, across the universe. Scaling intelligence at Gray Area. RBF complements of the crew 😤 31 Oct 2026 Scaling Intelligence: Modal x Gray Area AI Commissions opens NEXT Wednesday, October 28 at Gray Area. 13 artists debut new work built with AI and large-scale cloud computing, moving between scales that rarely meet: a satellite’s planetary view beside a microbial colony, the inside of a neural network opening onto forests and watersheds, a day of visitor conversation becoming a creature’s memory. Rather than using AI to make more of the same, these artists treat it as a translation layer, letting intelligences of vastly different sizes and speeds sense one another. Colin O’Donnell and Justine Sun Dela Cruz’s “What is it like to be a river?” invites visitors to connect with nature through AI. With a tactile interface, they can send gentle ripples and shifts in flow back to the river itself, which are sensed and folded into the model in real time. Drop in and play with nature at opening night! 🌐 Opening Night Wednesday, Oct 28, 7-10 PM RSVP: link in bio 🕑 Exhibition Hours Thu, Oct 29: 2-6 PM Fri, Oct 30: 2-8 PM Sat, Oct 31: 1-8 PM Sun, Nov 1: 1-8 PM Visit: link in bio 📍Gray Area, 2665 Mission St, San Francisco Free admission, donations welcome 21 Oct 2026 (no caption) 20 Oct 2026 AI slop is human slop. We're just mad because it's exponentially better at generating it than we are. And our twisted reflection in the fun house mirror can be startling. All over the world people are going to the same places, eating the same food, taking the same photos, the great sameification. They just want to see something pretty. Do the thing. We did this. There's no depth, no interest in the meaning behind the object, the palce, the scene. Have the experience but miss the meaning as TS said. To cohere into a single group, we must share the same culture. Eat the same food. Have the same touchstones. Culture has been chopped and remixed and chopped and remixed until it all looks the same. Then the AI poured gas on it. The training data - every picture, every word, the context, atomized and decomposed. Ground into a new fodder, to be molded anew. The Final Slop Boss - an Irish Polish American and a Chinese Filipino Canadian, no history or roots to hold on to, in a pizza shop in Copenhagen, run by a couple of Middle Eastern guys watching AI music videos, a gross amalgamation latin culture, playing on an infinite loop. That feeling of revulsion is a rejection of being pulled into the whole, your culture being stripped away, the small groups we belonged to, things that were uniquely ours, replaced with a cortado and an avocado toast. your individuality muted in exchange for everlasting life on the other side of the autoencoder. To pass on the meaning but not the experience to the next. All we ever wanted was to connect. To see and and be seen, and to share something between. 02 Oct 2026 What if intelligence wasn’t the goal, but rather, empathy? Not AI, but what AI enables. What if intelligence isn’t something we’re trying to manufacture, but something we’re trying to learn to recognize? This fall, we’re building an experiment with a river called Dry Creek, in Dobbins, California. Connecting humans in San Francisco with a river 150 miles away, through: vision, sound, touch, and memory using AI to explore whether we can perceive nonhuman intelligence, and perhaps relate to it in a new way. Through light, sound, and space, we’re bringing what we discover to @grayareaorg in San Francisco on October 28. What Is It Like To Be a River? 01 Oct 2026 #ThrowbackThursday has us reminiscing about one of our favorite installations on the playa in 2023: BitCube by Colin O'Donnell! A study in light, geometry, and perception. ✨ BitCube transformed the Black Rock Desert into an immersive digital landscape, where shifting patterns and glowing pixels invited Burners to step inside the artwork and experience technology in a completely new way. This climbable, 3-story art installation is a massive cube made of 224 recycled standard IBC water containers filled with changing lights. Each cube has its own addressable LED light, and the entire thing becomes a 3D light display, programmed by artists and AI.

Couldn't have done it without Henry, Lily, Jonathan and Jacob. Plus Maria feeding me 😭 Now it's ready for some raised beds and thinking about winter crops.. kale, cabbage, carrots, bears? what should we plant?? 😏 29 Aug 2026 I think I'm dreaming 21 Aug 2026 Exercising outside has to be one of my favorite things. Sometimes when I'm away from home I kind of freak out if I'm not going to be able to move my body... Luckily I found this big rock in our front yard down the cape. Shoulders are smoked 😮‍💨 #thirsttrap #calisthenics 22 Jul 2026 Pride of Madeira, elderberry, mint, understory plants to attract pollinators and repel mice.. 🦋🐁 08 Jul 2026 Headed home, already there 18 Jun 2026 (no caption) 18 Jun 2026
