An Accessible Future is the third biennial SUNY Broad-Ranging Art-Tech exhibition. This year's theme invited artists to imagine possible futures that contrast to prevailing dystopic narratives in contemporary culture. We invited them to imagine a future that is not only positive, but also accessible to those who currently experience barriers to societal participation and expression.
In our times, questions loom large regarding whether technological developments will lower or raise barriers. We invited artists to probe how technology can lower barriers for persons with disabilities to share their art, and question the legitimacy behind claims like “AI allows disabled people to make art.”
To create is to be human and to express our humanity. How can we as artists envision and enable a future that is positive and accessible for all?
This exhibit contains accessibility features that we hope allow people with all visual abilities to enjoy the show. Each piece features accompanying audio describing the work, which can be accessed via a QR code next to the work, or browsed on this site.
