DIVERSEartLA 2024 Highlights Preview: Focus on Memory, Humanity & AI

Curated by Marisa Caichiolo

DIVERSEartLA brings important local and international art institutions together in a timely conversation spoken in the universal language of art. This year’s program explores the intersection of memory, humanity and AI through a selection of cutting-edge art, technology and multimedia exhibitions.

As preparations ramp up for our February return, LA Art Show producer / director Kassandra Voyagis said, “We are excited to continue facilitating this pioneering program. It ignites important dialogue through art and helps to deepen our understanding of what it means to be human.”

Curated by Marisa Caichiolo, DIVERSEartLA is driven by The LA Art Show’s commitment to present thought-provoking programming, using art as a vehicle to raise awareness about important issues confronting society. Addressing the theme of the 2024 edition, Caichiolo said, “Memory is a fundamental aspect of human experience that shapes our individual and collective identities. From AI-generated artworks to immersive virtual reality experiences that challenge our sense of self, the works in this edition invite us to consider the opportunities and challenges presented by AI and memory while also raising important questions about the ethical and social implications of relying on AI as a tool for memory and identity.”

Nevada Museum of Art

The Nevada Museum of Art will present The Journey by contemporary artist Guillermo Bert, curated by Vivian Zavataro. The installation features a series of 20 highly detailed, life-sized wood sculptures portraying real immigrants who were employed as frontline workers. In his multimedia works, Bert investigates how ancient traditions and modern technology merge to create narratives of identity, human memory, immigration, culture and humanity.
