This public program, hosted by the NetGain Partnership, will explore the role of artists in critically examining the social impacts of artificial intelligence and related technologies—and ways in which the arts can help us refigure the future. This event will publicly launch REFRESH, a new initiative that supports the work of women and women-identified artists, especially women of color, LGBTQ+ artists, and artists with disabilities, with the aim of fostering creation of more diverse work in the field of art, science, and technology.
The NetGain Partnership is a collaboration involving the Ford Foundation, Knight Foundation, MacArthur Foundation, Mozilla Foundation, Open Society Foundations and, this year, the Omidyar Network, that seeks to strengthen digital society and advance the public interest.

Like many projects from this year’s art fellows, the work incorporates knowledge and practice from native communities that live in harmony with nature to imagine how the whole world can improve our relationship with the Earth.
