Sterling Crispin: Future Tense

May 1, 2020 – Sept 20, 2021
11-22 44th Rd, Long Island City, NY 11101, United States

Sterling Crispin calls himself an artist and a technologist, but he also doesn’t mind the term eschatologist. As Crispin explains, “Technology is an extension of humanity, an embodiment of the human spirit, rather than an external force that we must mitigate. I’m interested in creating new dialogues, signs, and symbols which challenge existing, contradictory narratives about the future and their consequences for the present.” In sync with his beliefs, Crispin’s work delves into technology—its beauty, its challenges, and the part it plays in human destiny. —E.C.
