Get ready for a full-throttle dance party where human creativity and machine intelligence collide. Headlining the night is Deep World, a new live audiovisual/AI performance by VJ Übergeek, the long-running performance persona of artist Amy Alexander, joined by DJ monocromo. Picking up where Übergeek’s legendary CyberSpaceLand series (2000–2015) left off, Deep World blends club energy with theatrical spectacle, part live text improv, part VJ set, and part video game. As Übergeek converses with a custom-trained AI built on the words of writers and thinkers who have navigated crisis, the dialogue drives a pulsing, immersive cathartic rave. The party kicks off with high-energy, algorithmically generated sets by Joe Cantrell and Matty Terrones & Victor Castañeda, priming the dance floor with worlds of sound, light, and automation.

"Bouquet" is a curated exhibition organized by Page Art Projects and presented as a project of Campana Studios. On view at the ICA North Pavilion in Encinitas, the exhibition brings together five regional artists working across painting and sculpture whose practices engage botanical imagery through observation, history, and imagination. Rather than treating flowers as simple decoration, the works in "Bouquet" explore the many ways we assign meaning to the natural world — through study, symbolism, memory, and material form. From gardens carefully documented over time to sculptural works inspired by the historical language of flowers, each artist offers a distinct perspective on how beauty, knowledge, and cultural history intersect. Featured artists include: Laura Ball, Jean Lowe, Amy Pachowicz, Gail Roberts and Rebecca Webb. This exhibition is made possible through support from the City of Encinitas and community funding partners. Exhibition hours 11 a.m. - 2 p.m., Thursday - Saturday or by appointment
