Details

836M’s 2026 program revolves around the theme of Metamorphosis: at a time when society is transforming at an unprecedented pace, the theme of metamorphosis speaks to the urgency of reinvention, highlighting how we must evolve to keep pace with the world around us. Throughout the year, a variety of pop-up exhibitions, concerts, screenings and talks will populate 836M’s calendar–starting with an immersive installation by Delphine Diallo, January 14-26, 2026.

For her pop-up exhibition, Diallo will create an immersive installation titled Earth Oracle, aiming to transform 836M’s storefront gallery into “a living, ceremonial space of elemental remembrance.” At the heart of the experience will be an altar formed from local stone and sand—a vulva-shaped centerpiece honoring the earthly source of microcomputing and A.I. chips: silica. Two films—one a mythic travel dreamscape, the other an alchemical meditation—will be screened as part of the installation.

Together with Diallo’s photographs and miniature prints mounted along the walls, Earth Oracle invites viewers into “an encounter with the unseen architecture of becoming, bridging technology, ancestral storytelling and the natural world.”

Residency Events:

January 14 – Opening

January 21 – Panel Discussion
Clarisse Neu from Google DeepMind and Patricia Buffa from Adobe Firefly GenAI will join Diallo in a panel discussion on artificial intelligence as a catalyst for the evolution of art, society, and storytelling.

January 26 – Closing
Witness Metamorphosis for the final time, where stone, sand, and A.I. awaken the unseen
