Jill Miller Presents Future Perfect

In the exhibition FUTURE PERFECT, artist and professor Jill Miller uses artificial intelligence (AI) software and digital technologies to imagine alternate realities and visualize fantasies. Her projects are bound together by humor: an AI exacts revenge on a musician who put Miller’s unauthorized photograph on his album cover; the artist infiltrates a popular video game platform marketed toward adolescents to expose unusual behavior; a retro-futuristic installation collapses time and space by merging a 1970s space colony landscape with contemporary video game furniture; and a large, inflatable sculpture uses the materials and technology of children’s birthday-party bouncy houses to manifest anxiety.

Jill Miller is a professor at University of California, Berkeley, in the Department of Art Practice. She is a visual artist who works across a wide range of media, from digital media to public art, and many hybrids in between. She often collaborates with individuals and local communities in the form of public interventions, workshops, and participatory community projects. Her work is playful, and she uses humor as a strategy for opening up meaningful conversations about difficult subjects.

Exhibition: January 17–February 10, 2023, FAB Gallery Main Floor
Gallery Hours: Tuesday–Friday 12:00pm–5:00pm and Saturday 2:00–5:00pm
