"Blue-lit screens rise and tilt across the floor of UC Berkeley’s Worth Ryder Art Gallery. At their center, a digital river winds through an imagined watershed. Stools surround them, each representing a different water regime, or system for governing and allocating water — from Indigenous stewardship to colonial extraction and AI-driven optimization."
