**PHANTOM CONDUITS
SPOTLIGHT: AN IMMERSIVE JOURNEY INTO AI & REALITY** ✨
Featuring:
ANTONY BARKWORTH-KNIGHT
& MIKE CHAVEZ-DAWSON
Join us on **JUNE 4th 2025** (PV 6–9PM) for a groundbreaking exploration of art, technology, and the human experience.
At the heart of this event is Antony Barkworth-Knight’s *THE LIGHT*—a cinematic AI-generated odyssey where **voice, sound, and imagery are entirely synthesized by algorithms**. Dive into a haunting narrative where a character’s encounter with a mysterious object unravels her trust in memory, senses, and reality itself.
*Assemblage In-conversation (Phantom Conduits Spotlight…), 2025* sees artist curator Mike Chavez-Dawson assemble a constellation of speculative artworks that blur lines between **visual art, critique, and machine-generated futures**. This presentation confronts the clash between **corporate AI utopias** and our personal interactions with tech—asking: *Can we trust the narratives shaping our world?*
“…The work acts as a metaphor for the rapidly evolving world of AI in which utopian narratives driven by large technology companies and media outlets clash with our own personal reality and interactions with emerging technologies…”
The artists, 2025
Don’t miss this provocative dialogue between human creativity and artificial intelligence. Will you question what’s real?
