Opening Reception | LOCK/UNLOCK

Join the The Loft at Liz's Fine Art Gallery & Liz's Antique Hardware for an artist talk and opening reception for their exhibition LOCK/UNLOCK. 

Lock/Unlock is an exhibit seeking to unpick the past, present and future states of security, privacy and protection. From the first known examples of cryptology dating back to 1,900 BC, the intricate workings of early crafted analog lock and key mechanisms, through to the present systems of cybersecurity, encryption and biometric authentication, society continues to grapple with addressing the question of what is worthy of protecting and how to do it. The participating artists, engineers, coders and historians of Lock/Unlock address the roles of authenticity, machine learning, quantum computing, ransomware, hacking and more within a certain future of ever deepening complexity.

Also, on October 14th, attend a hands-on lock picking workshop taught by Dean of Instruction Bill Ragsdale of the Academy of Lock Picking Arts from 3-5PM or 7-9PM. 

Presented by The Loft at Liz's Fine Art Gallery & Liz's Antique Hardware - a participating gallery in PST ART: Art & Science Collide.
