MEETINGS RESEARCH is a performance-experiment by 2024 Artist-in-Residence Sarah Rothberg which uses improvisation, conversation, and AI language models to (literally) reflect the present moment.
MEETINGS RESEARCH is an extension of Rothberg’s larger body of work MEETINGS which centers conversation as a creative act and plays with the emerging communication technologies that affect it.
Creative Technologist: Tommy Martinez
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Sarah Rothberg creates playful, poetic, usually-a-bit-weird experiences that invite you to reconsider your relationships to the world around you. These take many forms ranging from installation to immersive experiences, performance, websites, video, writing, workshops, and experiments with technology. Rothberg’s work appears in a variety of contexts: at art exhibitions, in public google docs, on the screens in the NYC Subway system, or whispered into the void. Support for Rothberg’s work has come from organizations including: MoMA, CPR – Center for Performance Research, rhizome.org, bitforms gallery, MTA Arts&Design, CultureHub, and Gray Area. Rotherberg is an Assistant Arts Professor at NYU (Interactive Telecommunications Program), a member of Onassis ONX Studio, and a mentor/former-member at NEW INC, and is part of collaboratives: MORE&MORE UNLIMITED, which offers experiences for imagining changed worlds, and IS THIS THING ON? a post-web2 experiment in artist-driven livestreaming. Rothberg is a 2023-2024 Jerome Hill Artist Fellow.
