DESCRIPTION:This exhibition will be on display August 28- October 4\, and t
 he gallery reception will be August 28 6-8pm.\n\nCurrent attempts to integ
 rate the arts into the ideological system of the ruling party or the tech 
 industry have eroded our faith in art as an independent\, liberating force
 . But is this forced evolution of art intentionally perverse? Or\, is it j
 ust a product of our time? In our desperate attempts to find “the Left
 ’s Joe Rogan” and escape red tweets for blue skies\, we accept that th
 e revolution will be uploaded. But\, on what platform?\n\n \n\nRather than
  deny art’s inevitable role in shaping both power and resistance\, perha
 ps we should embrace it. In Controlled Oppositions\, Clay Harper envisions
  a world where image-making is surrendered to generative AI’s stock foot
 age libraries\, allowing their inherent contradictions to unfold in tangle
 s of physical and virtual space. By highlighting these friction points\, h
 e searches for a form of media that does more than simply rebrand existing
  modes of content consumption\; it aims to render such modes obsolete. \n\
