DEMO2024: Random Access Memory, June 5-20 at WSA

DEMO2024 is NEW INC’s multi-day festival and gathering for people at the leading edge of art, culture, and technology. Anchored by the work of NEW INC'S Year 10 Members, the festival gathers national and international visionary creators for a series of demos, exhibitions, and broadcasts giving shape to the next generation of creative leaders.

Rhizome partners with NEW INC on the Art & Code track, which is a space for artists, designers, researchers, and technologists to study together over the course of a year to redefine artistic landscapes through internet-based practice. This year, track members present Random Access Memory, a series of talks, performances, demos and an exhibition featuring new work by Y10 members.
