Join artist Ian Cheng and curator Eric Crosby to celebrate the opening of Ian Cheng in Carnegie Museum of Artā€™s Forum Gallery.

For his solo exhibition at Carnegie Museum of Art, Ian Cheng (b. 1984) presents Emissary Sunsets The Self, an open-ended digital simulation displayed on a massive, 13-foot LED screen. Cheng’s digital simulation artworks draw on his background in cognitive science and employ rudimentary forms of artificial intelligence (AI).

This in-gallery conversation with the artist and cocktail reception is free and open to the public, with a cash bar. Stay afterward for Third Thursday, Carnegie Museum of Artā€™s monthly evening event, for $5.
