Each year Rhizome presents Seven-on-Seven, a conference that pairs seven leading artists with seven luminary technologists, and challenges them to make something new together – be it an application, artwork, provocation, or whatever they imagine. They unveil their creations and discuss their process, at an intimate public event in NYC at the New Museum which the Niio team attended for the 2nd year in a row.
