SUMMARY:The Future of History in the Age of A.I.
DESCRIPTION:The second installment of The Future of History\, presented through the Meyer and Renee Luskin Public History Program at the Wende in conjunction with the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy. \nHistory is a record of what we choose to keep and how we narrate the past. We now live in an age in which machines\, or combinations of computer chips\, can not only choose what to preserve but also generate new narratives of the past. Artificial intelligence (A.I.) gathers\, sorts\, and generates the documents of our age. In doing so\, it can recall the past in seconds. But it can also invent\, misrepresent\, or distort it. \nWhat will history look like in the age of A.I.? Who will decide what is true? Whose memory survives\, and whose is lost? A historian\, a computer scientist\, an information scholar\, and a digital humanities scholar take up these and other questions\, moderated by David N. Myers. \nDavid N. Myers is Distinguished Professor of History and UCLA and served as founding director of the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy (2017-2026). \nTobias “Toby” Higbie is Professor of History and Labor Studies at UCLA and director of the Institute for Research on Labor and Employment. He builds digital archives that turn historical records into research tools. \nSaadia Gabriel is Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering and founder of the Misinformation\, AI and Responsible Society (MARS) Lab. She studies how language carries factuality\, intent\, and harm\, and how to build more responsible A.I. \nCindy Anh Nguyen is Assistant Professor of Information Studies at UCLA. Her book Bibliotactics: Libraries and the Colonial Public in Vietnam (University of California Press\, 2026) traces how libraries served as both tools of colonial control and spaces of public critique. \nTodd Presner is Chair of UCLA’s Department of European Languages and Transcultural Studies and directs the Large Language Lab. His book Ethics of the Algorithm: Digital Humanities and Holocaust Memory (Princeton University Press\, 2024) examines how A.I. is reshaping the practice of Holocaust history. \nAbout the Meyer and Renee Luskin Public History Program at the Wende:\nThis series is made possible through the extraordinary generosity of Meyer and Renee Luskin\, visionary philanthropists whose support has advanced groundbreaking research and community engagement across Los Angeles and beyond. Through their commitment to education\, policy innovation\, and public history\, the Luskins have transformed institutions such as UCLA\, where the Luskin Center for History and Policy is pioneering efforts to apply historical analysis to contemporary challenges. Their dedication to fostering knowledge and civic dialogue ensures that history remains a vital resource in shaping a more just and informed society. \nAs the museum will be closed during this evening program\, please enter through the garden gate. The garden gate will open 30 minutes before the start time for check-in and ADA access. Theater doors open 15 minutes before the start time. Seating is first come\, first served. An RSVP does not guarantee admission once capacity is reached. No late entry.

SUMMARY:Ivana Dama: A Performance and Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a live performance by artist Ivana Dama\, presented alongside her installation Breathing Alarms\, now on view in the East German guardhouse in the Wende Museum garden. \nAt the center of Breathing Alarms is a custom air-raid siren powered not by machinery but by human breath. Visitors’ inhalations and exhalations generate the siren’s sound and set in motion an animation of birds inside an aluminum zoetrope. The work transforms a device built for monitoring and protection into a responsive instrument\, one that only sounds through shared physical presence. \nFor this program\, Dama presents a live performance drawn from her ongoing research into air-raid sirens. The performance is followed by a conversation between the artist and Chief Curator Joes Segal. \nBorn and raised in Belgrade\, former Yugoslavia\, and now based in New York\, Dama investigates alarm signals across social and natural systems\, from the absence of birdsong as a warning sign to the role of sirens in marking ecological\, political\, and social concerns. \nBreathing Alarms is on view through October 11\, 2026. The installation is made possible by the generous support of the David Bermant Foundation\, and developed in collaboration with the MIT Center for Bits and Atoms.
