Save the date: 7x7 returns to on May 16, 2026. Seven artists and seven technologists work together in pairs to “make something new,” presenting the results at a public conference.

This year’s edition is curated by Rhizome with collaborators Neema Githere and 邊界 .systems (Ian Margo and Alexandre Montserrat | 世然), who will also participate as artists. Taking up the theme of “containment,” 7x7 2026 draws inspiration from the acclaimed exhibition “New Humans” and the 2000 essay “Container Technologies” by Zoë Sofia to explore complex systems—biological, computational, and relational—through interdependence, curiosity, care, and contingency.

The Counterstructural Commons residency is made possible by Mozilla Foundation. 7x7 education programs are made possible by Deutsche Bank Americas Foundation.

🧐First established in 1999, the ArtBase contains over 2,000 works of net art, including some of the very first artworks to use the internet as an artistic medium. For SCREENTIME, Rhizome accessioned two new video works to ArtBase: “Died in your arms tonight (Shell’s Place Page 29)” by Olia Lialina, and “Reenactment of Marina Abramovic and Ulay’s Imponderabilia” by Eva & Franco Mattes ().

Thank you to everyone who joined us this Monday for Model as a Medium at Index Space ()! Video documentation from the event is now online, watch at the link in bio.

This winter, Rhizome partnered with TITLES () to commission artists Maya Man (), Louis Osmosis (), balfua (), Alix Vernet (), and Aarati Akkapeddi (.online) to create their own custom generative AI models.

Though coming from diverse artistic backgrounds, some rooted in tactile media and others already engaging with AI, participating artists offered insight into their creative processes and the evolving implications of authorship in the AI age.

We’re grateful to have gathered with such an engaged community to preview the artists work, while also learning more about model creation with artist Derrick Schultz () TITLES’ Head of Product!
