SUMMARY:Gray Area Grand Theater:  ./local_memory: soft systems
DESCRIPTION:Friday: Opening Reception\, 6 PM to 10 PM\nSaturday: Open Gallery Hours\, 4 PM to 10 PM\nSunday: Open Gallery Hours\, 12 PM to 6 PM \n./local_memory: soft systems is a showcase of recently developed art and tech works by fifteen emerging Bay Area creators that explores how we perceive ourselves in a world inundated by digital systems. Over three nights\, this exhibition will include ambitious pieces ranging from immersive\, large-scale installations to intimate artifacts\, presented across both digital and physical media. \n./local_memory is a new\, artist-led event series dedicated to surfacing new voices from the Bay Area. Initiated through an open call\, this series creates a dedicated space at Gray Area in San Francisco for both emerging and established artists to convey urgent perspectives from the intersection of art and technology. \nsoft systems is the first exhibition presented by ./local_memory. \nIn soft systems\, the artworks on view are connected by their transformations of digital and material processes into ritual environments for reflection and care. Moving away from optimization and spectacle\, the exhibition centers memory\, embodiment\, and belief as foundational structures of the digital self. Across a range of concerns\, many of the artists included are driven by collective experience\, communal tradition\, interspecies relationships\, and slow culture. Together\, they mine rich potential from sources of friction\, slippage\, and stickiness. \nOn Sunday\, April 19\, Gray Area is thrilled to host our friends at TIAT for an exhibition takeover! Join us from 6 – 8 PM for special evening gallery hours and a guided walkthrough of the exhibit. All weekend\, TIAT members can visit the show for free. RSVP here.

SUMMARY:Gray Area Grand Theater: Cybersentics Book Club April 2026: Sentics - A Predecessor of Affective Computing?
DESCRIPTION:Join us this April at Gray Area’s Cybernetics Book Club. \nThis month\, Cybersentics Book Club discusses the idea that emotions have fixed\, measurable shapes that transcend culture and can be induced through touch alone. Though contested\, Clyne’s theory of sentic shapes casts a long shadow\, most notably informing Rosalind Picard’s work on affective computing. \nThis Month’s Reading: \nClynes\, M. (1976). Sentics — The Touch of Emotions. Anchor.

SUMMARY:Gray Area Grand Theater: SF Cinematheque presents: Constructions / Destructions / Instructions: The Films of Gordon Matta-Clark
DESCRIPTION:SF Cinematheque presents six films by Gordon Matta-Clark from 1971–1976\, showcasing his radical “building cuts” and experimental interventions that use film to explore boundaries and space. \nProgram introduced by Dylan Adamson & Jessamyn Fiore \nGordon Matta-Clark\, the artist\, urban explorer and “anarchitect” most famous for the “building cuts” he performed on various decomposing structures in the 1970s\, made eighteen short films before his untimely death from cancer in 1978. Aside from enabling “walk throughs” of the buildings Matta-Clark worked with (all of which have since been demolished)\, film provides the ideal venue with which to experience Matta-Clark’s singular artistry: the power of the cut to create strange new juxtapositions\, the epistemological faculty of an opening that introduces light to new planes; metaphorical connections between Matta-Clark’s work and the cinematic apparatus abound. This program collects six of his films completed between 1971 and 1976\, documenting three building cuts\, one site-specific intervention\, one formal experiment and one car crash. In all his work\, Matta-Clark sought to expose the thinness of the boundaries that divide people\, mediums\, spaces and ideas. With sledgehammer\, chainsaw and his own two feet\, he punched through these walls with an urgency that has been increasingly felt in the decades since his passing\, cutting new holes for light to pour in. (Dylan Adamson & Jessamyn Fiore\, program curators) Full screening details here.\nScreening \nFire Child (1971) by Gordon Matta-Clark; 16mm\, 10 minutes.\nFresh Kill (1972) by Gordon Matta-Clark; 16mm\, 13 minutes.\nBingo/Ninths (1974) by Gordon Matta-Clark; 16mm\, 10 minutes.\nSplitting (1974) by Gordon Matta-Clark; 16mm\, 11 minutes.\nConical Intersect (1975) by Gordon Matta-Clark; 16mm\, 19 minutes.\nCity Slivers (1976) by Gordon Matta-Clark; 16mm\, 15 minutes.\nTRT: 78 minutes. \nRelated publication: City Slivers And Fresh Kills: The Films Of Gordon Matta-Clark (Steven Jenkins\, ed)\, published 2004 by San Francisco Cinematheque.

SUMMARY:Gray Area Grand Theater: Tidal Transmissions: Navigation CROSSLUCID with Sayaka Botanic
DESCRIPTION:Tidal Transmissions: Navigation is a live audiovisual work by CROSSLUCID\, centered on T I D E (Tidal Intelligence Data Engine) — a self-evolving ecosystem of AI entities that process real-time oceanic data and adapt how they communicate in response to changing conditions. \nDrawing on Indigenous Pacific navigation practices\, particularly Marshallese stick charts that map wave interference patterns\, the work reimagines orientation not as a fixed position\, but as a dynamic relationship between forces. In this framework\, signals emerge from apparent noise\, and cognition is distributed rather than contained. \nFeaturing a live performance by experimental violinist Sayaka Botanic\, who instrumentalizes her body as the substrate of oceanic data\, her bow tracing the logic of Pacific stick charts through sound\, enacting an embodied wayfinding between ancient piloting traditions and tidal data streams. \nFollowing the performance\, Claire Isabel Webb joins Sylwana Zybura and Tomas C. Toth from CROSSLUCID and Sayaka Botanic for a panel discussion. \nThis event is presented by Future Humans\, a research initiative housed in the Berggruen Institute that examines how ideas of life\, intelligence\, and consciousness are being reshaped in the twenty-first century.

SUMMARY:Gray Area Grand Theater: William Basinski with Kelly Moran
DESCRIPTION:On April 30\, William Basinski brings his signature approach to experimental music to Gray Area. A classically trained composer who has worked in experimental media for over 30 years\, from New York City to California\, Basinski uses obsolete technology and analog tape loops to shape haunting\, slow-moving soundscapes that linger on memory\, impermanence\, and the passage of time.
