"The visitors at the Institute of Contemporary Art last Friday can say they were there when one of the most innovative installations in the city's history was unveiled. It's Data Trust, a project by Brooklyn-based artist Stephanie Dinkins that has transformed the downtown San Jose gallery into an immersive, AI-driven environment. It's about land and history and storytelling and technology, but it's really about people."
"Dinkins attended the launch of Data Trust, which was supported by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation's Hewlett 50 Arts Commissions and drew more than 250 people. The mesmerized crowd included artists and academics from San Jose State, Santa Clara University, UC Berkeley and Stanford, along with some of the project interviewees and both San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan and Stephen Caines, who serves as the city's chief innovation officer."
"It's something that really needs to be experienced, and fortunately, there's plenty of time to do so. ICA Executive Director James Leventhal says the project will be up through next March 22, to coincide with the return of Nvidia's big technology conference, GTC. The ICA is open from noon to 5 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays, and you can get more information at www.icasanjose.org."
Data Trust transforms the Institute of Contemporary Art San Jose into an immersive, AI-driven environment that uses oral histories from African American Bay Area communities to generate evolving projections on 14-foot walls. Visitors can participate by speaking into red, old-school telephones so their stories become part of the installation's digital tapestry. The launch drew over 250 attendees and was supported by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation's Hewlett 50 Arts Commissions, attracting artists, academics and city officials. The installation runs through March 22 to coincide with Nvidia's GTC, and the ICA is open noon–5 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays.
