At a time when platforms pervasively cull personal data\u2014and digital conformity is the norm\u2014Tanenhaus views reclaiming devices, embracing error, and transforming shared environments as radical acts of autonomy, mindfulness, and community. Her earliest digital works were created via smartphone glitch apps; her recent work in AI seeks to similarly short-circuit machine-learning processes. She manipulates the software\u2019s lean toward logic, producing imagery and songs steeped in the saccharine, saturated, and surreal. In this talk, Tanenhaus will share her unconventional creative path, from typographic street art to experimental AI installations, cat stickers to electronic music collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admission is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sponsored by the Interactive Arts Collaborative through the Arts + Technology Program at Clark University<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-group boxout has-light-warm-gray-background-color has-background is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-12dd3699 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>Science fiction, literature, and experimental cinema collide in a concert by Cosmic Lucifer featuring psychedelic visuals by Allison Tanenhaus.

Using smartphone apps, she glitches and restitches original photos and personal artifacts into vibrant otherworldly abstractions. Made with equal parts deliberation and experimentation, the rainbow-hued mutations take on a psychedelic life of their own. Tanenhaus\u2019 work has been showcased in 26 countries via exhibitions, installations, music videos, live performances, and guerrilla street art. Highlights include Boston Cyberarts, Boston Museum of Science Planetarium, and her traveling shows \u201cGlitchKraft\u201d and \u201cHaus Party.\u201d<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Glitch video artist Allison Tanenhaus specializes in immersive op art, anachronistic tech mashups, and unexpected dimensional qualities.
