Digital Infinities: Spirited Pixels
Past event

About

In conjunction with the exhibition Digital Witness: Revolutions in Design, Photography, and Film on view at LACMA through July 13, 2025, Digital Infinities explores the histories, present and futures of experimental computer generated work that expand upon the possibilities of the moving image. 

Digital Infinities: Spirited Pixels extends the cosmic web of worlds, with works of encoded cosmologies from artists working to expand upon spiritual digital aesthetic strategies. A song, a ceremony, a prayer written in code, hardwired into a machine endowed with the touch of an artist in deep, reverential practice. This screening showcases short video works made in majority or entirely within computer or phone devices from artists around the world - artists with legacies in computer generated work as well as those newly revolutionizing computer generated cinematic forms.

The program includes videos by Rebecca Allen, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries, Casey Koyczan, Liz Maelane, LaJuné McMillian, Maria Meinild & Adam Khalil, Liz Mputu, Takeshi Murata & Christopher Rutledge, Hideki Nakazawa, John Sanborn & Dean Winkler, and Tabita Rezaire.

Come early for limited complimentary non-alcoholic drinks and specially themed candy at the REDCAT Lounge during our reception at 6 PM, and stay after for our post-screening mixer with featured artists at 9 PM.

 

Please note: Digital Infinities: Spirited Pixels contains loud sounds and displays video that has flashing lights, moving patterns and other visuals that could potentially affect visitors who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy or other photo and motion sensitivities.

All works screened digitally. 

A co-presentation of LACMA and REDCAT.

The program is curated by Matazi Weathers, Assistant Curator of Film at LACMA

Curation assistance from Octavia Anderson, Neema Githere, Britt Salveson, and Staci Steinberger.
