The New Museum has opened a new building with a major exhibition titled "New Humans: Memories of the Future," which explores how artists are redefining humanity through technology. A key figure in the show is artist Christopher Kulendran Thomas, who is simultaneously exhibiting at the Museum of Modern Art and recently showed at Gagosian Gallery, while also running project spaces in New York and Los Angeles.
Kulendran Thomas's work is significant for its complex, multi-layered critique of contemporary systems. His art, which incorporates A.I.-generated imagery and deepfake interviews with celebrities alongside documentary footage, weaves together ambitious arguments about political structures, philosophy, technology, and the future of both human and post-human creativity, positioning him as a central voice in current debates about art's direction in a technologically saturated world.
