Techspressionism 2026: Los Angeles & Beyond Exhibition at LACDA. Echoes, Whispers and Memories, by Conradi with Mark Chavez and Tate Chavez, was shown in Techspressionism 2026: Los Angeles & Beyond at the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art, from 9 July to 1 August, running across the SIGGRAPH week. The exhibition brought together prints and video by thirty-four artists, with an opening reception on 9 July and a Techspressionism Salon on 16 July. It also carried a Digital Arts Community collaboration with New Media Architectures: during SIGGRAPH, a curatorial team supported by ACM SIGGRAPH DAC, the Techspressionist artists and LACDA presented New Media Techspressionist Architectures, six newly co-created works, each made by a team of at least one artist, one composer and one technologist.
