Join XAB author Mashinka Firunts Hakopian for Technologies of Relation, a group show opening at MASS MoCA on February 21, 2026. 

Responding to the rapidly advancing technologies that are shaping our daily lives and social fabric, the artists in Technologies of Relation examine how we relate to each other, to our devices, and to our future.

These creators see the complexity of our relationships to the digital, avoiding the binary views that frame technology as good or bad, as tool or monster. They embrace how technology can connect us, but also acknowledge how algorithms and A.I. have the tendency to oppress and erase marginalized communities. Artists have been key to identifying the colonialist logic, racism, and violence embedded in and produced by corporate-developed technologies and datasets. Just as crucial as understanding these problematics, this exhibition offers visions of a technological future that is inclusive and liberatory.

Exhibiting artists are: Morehshin Allahyari, Pelenakeke Brown, Taeyoon Choi, Neema Githere, Mashinka Firunts Hakopian with Dahlia Elsayed, Andrew Demirjian, and Danny Snelson, Kite, Lauren Lee McCarthy, Analia Saban, and Roopa Vasudevan.
