Free and open to the public

Join us for a special one-night screening of Daniel R. Small’s Techne: Evidence in the Anthropocene (2022), followed by a conversation between artists and collaborators Miljohn Ruperto and Daniel R. Small.

Part of an episodic documentary series based on diverse sets of research, Techne: Evidence in the Anthropocene is about an era marked by a crisis of imagination. Moving between dystopian landscapes, forgotten technologies, legal conditions, and forensic traces, the work explores deep time across galactic and planetary scales to consider the fate of the human species. 

After the screening, Miljohn Ruperto will join Daniel R. Small in a conversation delving into speculative futures, the possibilities of artistic thinking, generative knowledge systems, and archiving records of human existence and achievement.

This program is co-presented by the Cantor Arts Center in conjunction with the exhibitions, Miljohn Ruperto: Ultimate Days, on view at Minnesota Street Project Foundation, March 14 - April 18, 2026, and Animal, Vegetable, nor Mineral: Works by Miljohn Ruperto, on view at the Cantor Arts Center, March 12 - September 14, 2026.

Before the program begins, visitors are invited to view the once-daily screening of Miljohn Ruperto’s The New Society (2026) at 6:45 pm.

Participant Bios

MiIjohn Ruperto’s (b. 1971, Manila, Philippines) distinctive multimedia practice considers the elusive nature of knowledge and strives to unsettle our knowledge of nature. Working across film, video, digital animation, performance, photography, and more, Ruperto interrogates the way we conceptualize, categorize, and represent nature to understand our place in the world, chronicle its history, and imagine its future. Ruperto received his M.F.A. from Yale University, and his B.A. in Art Practice from University of California, Berkeley. Ruperto has exhibited work internationally at Foto Arsenal Wien, Vienna (2025); ICA LA, Los Angeles (2024); MEP, Paris (2024); Jakarta Biennale (2021); Singapore Biennale (2019); Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2018, 2012); Schinkel Pavillion, Berlin (2018); REDCAT, Los Angeles (2017); Kadist, San Francisco (2017); Whitney Biennial (2014); among others. In 2019, he participated in the Acts of Life critical research residency at NTU CCA Singapore and MCAD Manila commissioned by the Goethe-lnstitut. His work is in the collections of Cantor Arts Center, MoMA NY, Hammer Museum, Whitney Museum of American Art, and Kadist Art Foundation.

Daniel R. Small (b. 1984, Centralia, Illinois, USA) is a contemporary artist, filmmaker, and technologist based in Los Angeles, California. His work engages with speculative pasts and futures through interventions in sites, narratives, and technologies. His projects have engaged organizations such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and UNESCO, working alongside these institutions to stage thought experiments and interventions within pre-existing research systems or archives. He is currently working on a film that follows an effort to revise the Voyager Golden Record as an interstellar archive of Earth and its inhabitants. He is also a co-founder of Thumos, an interpretive media system that refracts contemporary media streams through symbolic narrative structures.
