About This Event
Zach Blas appears at the Whitney Museum of American Art for "Does an AI God Have an Ass?," presented as a lecture-performance rather than a conventional rock/pop set. Blas’s work moves between music and institutional critique, prioritizing argument and inquiry over spectacle; his modest streaming presence (52 Spotify followers) underscores a practice oriented toward concept and context.
About Does an AI God Have an Ass?
Now playing at the Whitney Museum of American Art, *Does an AI God Have an Ass?* lands as a live Rock/Pop performance framed as an art event. Featured performer Zach Blas brings a practice shaped by media theory and queer politics into the room, testing how belief and authority get rebuilt through machines. The title reads like a provocation, but the work’s real subject is the body—who gets imagined as human, and who doesn’t. As a Whitney-stage presentation, it sits inside New York’s ongoing argument about technology’s cultural power.
