Description:
Substrate, a LACMA Art + Technology Grant project by artist Nancy Baker Cahill, examines the equitable distributive properties of mycelial networks, and how they relate to emerging data-sharing technologies. Substrate connects civic institutions, cultural resources, and data storage systems as a collaborative test case for civic hubs citywide, including the Los Angeles Public Library, LACMA, and Long Beach City College working in tandem, imagining new ways of eliminating barriers to access, of structuring permission, and of producing and sharing knowledge. Using blockchain, Substrate connects these public resources as metaphoric "Mother Trees" with the potential to nourish communities through distributed networks of multi-stakeholder cultural initiatives.
Part 1 of Substrate will appear on the Central Library Video Wall, and launch with a panel discussion with Karla Aguiñiga, Curator of the Long Beach City College gallery, in conversation with student participants, Casper Torres, Miguel Zavala-Lopez, Shereen Moustafa, and Mark Sosa, on their special exhibition Universum, created in response to Substrate, along with remarks from artist Nancy Baker Cahill and LACMA Art + Tech Lab Director Joel Feree.
