Coming up

Seattle new-media artist Cam Smith’s solo exhibition at Passable, opening November 12, 2026, addresses the relationship between the federal government and American AI companies. No closing date, later hours or list of works has been published.

The work

Smith’s work uses visitor interaction to raise questions of consent and control; his earlier Traces accumulates images of the people who encounter it.

Before you go

Some works use a camera or personal information. Ask what is recorded and kept before you take part.
