All Impossible Deeds: A Report on the LACMA Art + Technology Lab, 2014–2025

Chronicling a decade of LACMA’s pioneering initiative that offers new possibilities for artist-led innovation Published with Los Angeles County Museum of Art. This volume commemorates the first decade of LACMA’s Art + Technology Lab, a groundbreaking program that reimagines how museums support innovation, collaboration and risk. Gathering project descriptions, critical essays, artist reflections and archival reprints, All Impossible Deeds offers an expansive report on the Lab’s evolution from 2014 to 2025. Since its inception, the Lab has supported artists working with technologies ranging from AI and robotics to data visualization and networked systems—not just as tools, but as subjects of critical inquiry and creative disruption. Interwoven with content from LACMA’s original Art and Technology Program (1967–71), All Impossible Deeds explores how the Lab’s work reflects broader cultural, political and technological shifts, grappling with tensions around power, surveillance, labor and the changing roles of artists and institutions. Artists include: Jacqueline Kiyomi Gork, Rhett LaRue, Lawrence Lek, Kelly Akashi, Carl Cheng, Diana Thater.
