Seven on Seven (7×7), the iconic art and technology program from Rhizome, the New Museum’s digital affiliate, is back! Founded in 2010, 7×7 pairs leading artists with visionary technologists and tasks them with a simple challenge: make something new. The results of each pair’s collaboration will be presented as a public, experiential conference in the New Museum Theater.

Presented by Hyundai Motor, the 2024 edition will focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and is co-organized by Michael Connor, Co-Executive Director of Rhizome, and Xinran Yuan, independent curator and producer. The first in-person edition held since 2019, 7×7 2024 draws together creative pairings from across disciplines. The collaborators will consider how AI may alter our understanding of qualities such as love, humor, and improvisation; biology, politics, and histories.

Seven on Seven features:

• Quantum physicist Dr. Stephon Alexander with comedian, artist, and musician Reggie Watts
• Replika AI CEO and Founder Eugenia Kuyda with artist and filmmaker Lynn Hershman Leeson
• Boston Dynamics Director of Human-Robot Interaction David Robert with artist Miriam Simun
• Nym Technologies CEO and Co-Founder Harry Halpin with artist Tomás Saraceno
• Ginkgo Bioworks Head of Creative Christina Agapakis with artist Xin Liu
• Runway CEO and Co-Founder Cristóbal Valenzuela with comedian, writer, and actor Ana Fabrega
• Engineer and entrepreneur Alan Steremberg with artist Rindon Johnson
