Public radio interview on 'Ancient Wisdom for a Future Ecology'

Podcast interview with artists Ken Goldberg and Tiffany Shlain about their exhibition at the di Rosa "Ancient Wisdom for a Future Ecology". Listen from min 44 to 54.

San Francisco Art Week is underway, anchored by the 12th edition of FOG Design and Art (January 21–25), held on a historic former Army base by the bay. This year, however, it arrives during a time of flux for Northern California’s art scene, with several prominent galleries shuttering and two major art schools—the San Francisco Art Institute and the California College of the Arts—closing recently. But there are also signs of new life, including two new fairs with free admission, Atrium and Skylight Above (both January 22–25).

In her visual art, Shlain—a filmmaker, best-selling author, and creator of the Webby Award (which, incidentally, is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year)—is best known for challenging conceptions of patriarchy, colonialism, and the passage of time. In his, Goldberg—professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at UC Berkeley, co-founder of Ambirobotics and the Moxie Institute—is best known for visualizing ideas through telerobotics, automation, and AI.

Artist and life partners Tiffany Shlain and Ken Goldberg utilize technology to express the human connection to (or disconnection) from nature. Goldberg’s “Bloom” video translates live San Andreas seismic activity into whirling color.

Even more exceptional are when the people in those literal marriages extend their individual tendril-like professional paths toward each other, braiding them into endeavors that become something greater than either could have created alone. The “mine and yours” are rendered indistinguishable from one another.

When Tiffany Shlain was in fourth grade, her dad, a surgeon and writer, came to parent day at her Mill Valley school and presented her classroom with a human brain soaked in formaldehyde. “A lot of the kids screamed and ran out,” Shlain said. “I was riveted.”

ONGOING: Ancient Wisdom for a Future Ecology: Trees, Time and Technology from Bay Area artists Tiffany Shlain and Ken Goldberg is a sweeping exhibition at di Rosa SF that blends salvaged wood sculpture, video and artificial intelligence to explore how we perceive time. Highlights include a video portrait and tree census of San Francisco neighborhoods built from open-source ecological data, along with the opportunity for visitors to create personal tree tributes. January 22 through April 11.

For three years running, artist and activist Tiffany Shlain has created calls to action around her feminist history tree ring sculpture in advance of U.S. elections where women’s voting rights, reproductive rights and long held democratic principles face historic setbacks. The milestones and tribulations of women’s history seared onto the tree ring’s surface are particularly resonant now, as many records of women’s presence and accomplishments are disappearing from public view.

Your resume includes artist, filmmaker, founder of the Webby Awards, and author. Looking back, were there any signs from childhood that working in the creative arts would be your future? What was your journey like in the beginning?

With the internet now as ubiquitous as the air we breathe, it’s easy to forget how exciting it was logging on in the year 2000. Long before TikTok and Instagram, viral sensations like the Hamster Dance wormed their way into our brains, while personal publishers like Justin Hall of links.net and Jason Kottke of kottke.org launched a blogging revolution on pixelated Angelfire and Geocities websites.

In my continuing “better late than never” series of exhibitions I wished I had reviewed while open but still feel are worth noting: Sometimes a small exhibition can cast a wide net. Ancient Wisdom for a Future Ecology: Trees, Time, and Technology, an exhibition of work by Tiffany Shlain and Ken Goldberg at the Skirball Cultural Center (which was on view through March 2) is a great example of how a seemingly simple idea can not only be a work of art, but also provide a teaching moment, and be an engine for social action.

Artists Ken Goldberg and Tiffany Shlain harness the beauty and power of trees through tree-ring sculptures — two of which are inscribed with milestones in L.A. history. Visitors can also pay homage to the special trees in their lives by submitting information online, which will be turned into tributes by the artists using AI.

NAUTILUS

Tree-rings are like time machines. They tell ancient stories about the Earth and its climate, marking wet years, dry years, and periods of growth. Artist Tiffany Shlain and her husband, roboticist Ken Goldberg, decided they would make a perfect canvas for a set of artworks that explore the ways art and science are embedded in nature.

CULTURED

In “Ancient Wisdom for a Future Ecology: Trees, Time, and Technology,” a new installation by Bay Area creative couple Ken Goldberg and Tiffany Shlain, the artists juxtapose the timeless, organic intelligence of trees alongside products of human ingenuity. On view at Los Angeles’s Skirball Center through March 2, 2025, the exhibition is part of the Getty Museum’s “PST ART: Art and Science Collide” initiative. Stars like Diane Von Furstenberg, Nadya Tolokonnikova, and Kristen Bell made appearances opening night.

A high point of the long-anticipated Getty’s Pacific Standard Time ART Initiative: Art & Science Collide is a collaborative exhibition by interdisciplinary artists and life partners, Tiffany Shlain and Ken Goldberg, who both understand the power of art to raise questions.

ART CURRENTLY

As we approach perhaps the most pivotal and polarizing election in U.S. history, it becomes increasingly apparent that the fate of the country lies not in the hands of those we choose to vote for, but in the hands of all citizens that can relinquish power. At such a pressing time in American politics, the following few artists and organizations are stepping up to guide this delivery of decisive power.

SURFACE

The multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker pulls from a deep well of inspiration, spanning ancient civilizations, feminist history, and the forests of Muir Woods in works that merge film, sculpture, and anthropological study.

Tiffany Shlain’s moveable monument Dendrofemonology: Feminist History Tree Ring is on the move—soon to take up temporary residence in New York City’s Madison Square Park, where it serves as a focal point for her event, Mobilization for Women’s Rights and the Planet, on Sept. 21, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Coinciding with the start of Climate Week NYC and anticipating a historic election, Shlain’s daylong, public activation and rally will address a convergence of critical concerns in this dual “age of urgency.”

And with the collision of her solo exhibition You Are Here at a New York gallery; the appearance of her sculpture Dendrofemonology at a Climate Week mobilization for women’s and environmental rights in Madison Square Park; and the opening of her most recent collaboration with husband Ken Goldberg, Ancient Wisdom for a Future Ecology: Trees, Time & Technology, at the Getty’s Skirball Cultural Center in L.A., this behatted blonde goddess of multidimensional creativity has never wielded more influence.

ARTNET

Last fall, Tiffany Shlain brought a feminist timeline to the National Mall in Washington, D.C., in the form of her piece DENDROFEMONOLOGY: A Feminist History Tree Ring. She annotated the cross-section of a 250-year-old deodar cedar with 30 wood-burned milestones highlighting women’s contributions to world history. Her first show with Nancy Hoffman includes a selection of tree-ring sculptures, as well as other works exploring feminism, philosophy, technology, neuroscience, and nature.

NY JEWISH WEEK

The piece is one of 12 multimedia works on view at Shlain’s debut solo exhibition, “You Are Here”, on view at the Nancy Hoffman Gallery (520 West 27th St.) beginning on Thursday, Sept. 5. For Shlain — a San Francisco-based multi-hyphenate whose previous credits include several films about feminist history, including “The Tribe”, a humorous examination of American Jewish identity through the lens of Barbie — the body of work is an outgrowth of her Shabbat afternoons spent among the redwood trees in Muir Woods National Monument and other state parks nearby.

NANCY HOFFMAN GALLERY

“In the exhibition You Are Here, I will go back thousands of years in time, or thousands of miles in space, to reposition our relationship with nature and history,” explains Shlain. “By shifting our sense of scale, we see things differently: the earth, war, feminism, neuroscience, and our own lives. We gain a different perspective on where we are, and where we want to go.”

The old adage tells us to “stop and smell the roses,” but artist Tiffany Shlain advocates for stopping to count the tree rings.
