The contemporary technology museum has emerged as a performative participant in the systems it seeks to document.

2026 UPDATE: Sadly, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art has confirmed that its Free First Thursday program is temporarily paused beginning February 2026.

As of January 15, no additional Free First Thursday dates are scheduled. The change affects the long-running program that provided free general admission to Bay Area residents on the first Thursday of each month from 4 to 8 pm.
