The 2025 edition of Seven on Seven (7x7), the iconic art & technology program, will take place at Cornell Tech on May 9, 2025.
After an AI-focused edition in 2024, Rhizome is shaking up the format with a bold proposition by MSCHF & Rhizome Board member Karen Wong: this time, the key technology isn't code - it's the law.
Founded in 2010, 7x7 pairs leading artists with tech luminaries for deep conversations & groundbreaking collaborations, giving them a simple assignment: Make Something New. The results-which may be an app, a prototype, a performance, an artwork-are unveiled for the first time at a public event, after which many of these projects go on to further development & exhibition.
Over the years, the program has sparked visionary projects exploring AI, immersive media, & decentralized systems, pushing the boundaries of artistic & technological discourse. Past participants include Ai Weiwei, Miranda July, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, & Martine Syms, alongside pioneering technologists shaping the future of digital culture.
For the program's 2025 edition, 7x7 proposes that innovation isn't just about new tools, but about navigating, subverting, & reshaping laws, from AI regulation to copyright battles & digital identity.
7x7 2025 is hosted by Backslash at Cornell Tech & made possible by Cactoid Labs, Deutsche Bank Americas Foundation, Onkaos, & Onassis ONX.
