On view in The Gallery and The Space at Saint Kate, Destination Unknown is an exploration of time and space by Anne Spalter, enacted through an immersive installation of pastel drawings, large inflatable sculptures, video works, and custom-designed wallpaper.

Anne Spalter, academic pioneer and founder of Brown University’s and The Rhode Island School of Design’s first digital fine arts courses, will offer a brief tour of her displays and give a behind-the-scenes look at the process of using artificial intelligence to create much of the show's content.

After a short intermission, Spalter and Brooklyn-based musician The Josh Craig will discuss their experience collaborating on two video works in the show (one of which, Just Passing Through, is pictured above).

The Josh Craig will then draw on his background as a singer, songwriter, producer, DJ & visual artist to lead a demonstration and performance in the Arc Theater.

Anne Spalter is an academic pioneer who founded the original digital fine arts courses at Brown University and The Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in the 1990s and authored the internationally taught textbook, The Computer in the Visual Arts (Addison-Wesley, 1999). Her artistic process combines a consistent set of personal symbols with a hybrid arsenal of traditional mark-making methods and innovative digital tools. This new body of work, further developed at a Winter 2019 residency at MASS MoCA, combines artificial intelligence algorithms with oil paint and pastels.

The Josh Craig's music reflects the everyday journey that is living as an involved artist in a city that never sleeps and paints vivid pictures of life on the road in the drivers seat. Often blending genres, TJC has a one of a kind style and flavorful stage presence.
