"Even more exceptional are when the people in those literal marriages extend their individual tendril-like professional paths toward each other, braiding them into endeavors that become something greater than either could have created alone. The "mine and yours" are rendered indistinguishable from one another. Such is the case with multidisciplinary artist Tiffany Shlain and Ken Goldberg, a UC Berkeley professor of engineering and art practice. The Berkeley-based life and work partners' newest collaboration is "Ancient Wisdom for a Future Ecology: Trees, Time and Technology.""
"The exhibition interweaves concepts related to time that include California and Jewish history, mathematics, the development of written language, the ancient practice of reading tree rings and the incursions and advantages of artificial intelligence. After its fall 2024 opening in Los Angeles as part of the Getty Center's "PST ART: Art & Science Collide" initiative at the Skirball Cultural Center, "Ancient Wisdom" will arrive on Thursday next week at the di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art's San Francisco location."
Tiffany Shlain and Ken Goldberg are life and work partners who braided their professional practices into "Ancient Wisdom for a Future Ecology: Trees, Time and Technology." The exhibition interweaves time-related concepts including California and Jewish history, mathematics, the development of written language, dendrochronology and the incursions and advantages of artificial intelligence. The project opened in fall 2024 in Los Angeles as part of the Getty Center's PST ART initiative at the Skirball Cultural Center and will arrive at di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art in San Francisco. Concurrent programming includes artist-led tours, presentations and conversations. The project combines Shlain's focus on tree-ring timekeeping and feminism and Judaism with Goldberg's expertise in art, technology and AI.
