This event has ended.

Technium Territories, a solo exhibition of new paintings by Los Angeles-based artist Jake Kean Mayman, explores the coevolution of technology and humankind through still life paintings. The exhibition title references the concept of “the technium”—“the ecosystem of all invented things,” according to technologist Kevin Kelly—which includes the machines, processes, society, culture, and philosophy that define techno-social relations.
