A three-day gathering of artists, technologists, policymakers, filmmakers, and cultural practitioners exploring how AI is reshaping memory, community, creativity, and human connection. Emerging from five taster sessions shaped around questions of how we remember, think, and connect in an age of machine intelligence, the Assembly brings together immersive installations, conversations, and workshops that open space for collective reflection, learning, and shared inquiry into the evolving relationship between humans and AI.
G5A, Mozilla Foundation and Berggruen Institute invite technologists and cultural practitioners to engage in the evolving relationship between humans and AI to learn, reflect, and build a space for shared inquiry for the future.

Schedule:
12 PM to 7 PM
Transresistance: Lost Transmissions
Immersive Installation
Through light, sound, and electronic ephemera, the G5A Black Box is transformed into a vestibule for pause, reflection, and exploration. A collision of the tactile and tangible with souvenirs of technology and automation, with friction swirling all around us.
Transresistance is an echo from the past and a gateway into the future.
4 PM to 7 PM
Workshop | Archealogy of AI: An Exercise in Time Travel & Aesthetic Forgery by Ram Surendran
Every medium develops a signature look that emerges from its limitations rather than its capabilities: early film’s iris transitions, vinyl’s crackle, VHS tracking lines, JPEG compression. How will an artist in the future try to recreate the look of “early AI” the way we today recreate VHS or vinyl?
7 PM to 8 PM
