A thought-provoking discussion unfolds with artist Lawrence Lek and Claudia Mattos—Associate Curator at the Moody Center for the Arts at Rice University, Houston, TX and former Associate Curator of New Media at The Bass—discussing the ethical and cultural implications of AI as both subject and storyteller.

Framed around the exhibition Lawrence Lek: NOX Pavilion—a newly-commissioned multimedia installation exploring artificial intelligence and the emotional dimensions of technology—the conversation examines questions of narrative, simulation, and the evolving boundaries between human and machine.

Japanese-born artist Yuko Mohri creates kinetic installations and sculptures that respond to environmental forces such as gravity, sound, and humidity. Using found materials, she constructs systems that evolve in real time, challenging ideas of control, permanence, and authorship in art.

Mohri joins James Voorhies, Curator-at-Large at The Bass, for a guided discussion on her process, her relationship with unpredictability, and shifting conditions that shape her work. Together they will explore the role of impermanence in contemporary installation art and the creative potential of chance.
