Mergers with New Red Order and Kite at Berrie Center for the Arts
Wednesday, November 16 at 6:30pm
Berrie Center for the Arts
Ramapo College
505 Ramapo Valley Rd, Mahwah, NJ
The New Red Order (NRO) will perform their one-night only performance, “Mergers,” in the Adler Theater at the Berrie Center on Wednesday, November 16 at 6:30 p.m. The performance is being presented in tandem with the NRO exhibition “Give it Back: Stage Theory” in the Kresge & Pascal Galleries from November 2 to December 9.
“Mergers” interweaves performance works and screenings of short films from NRO and Kite, an Oglála Lakḣóta artist, composer, and academic, supported by accomplices Ashley Byler and Jeremy Pheiffer. The event relates to NRO and Kite’s shared interest in desires for indigeneity and the persistence and permeation of these desires into myths, dreams, and foundations of so-called Americans.
For more information regarding this performance, please visit the Berrie Center for the Arts website here.

InSession Talk:
Nonhumans, AI, and Indigenous Listening
Thursday, November 17, 2022 at 1:00pm EST
Free and online via Zoom
Link TBD
Kite will be presenting her talk Nonhumans, AI, and Indigenous Listening, as part of Sofar Sound's InSession series, a free discussion and education series exclusively for local and independent artists.
Nonhumans, AI, and Indigenous Listening is a lecture first given at the Zooetics Symposium at MIT Media Lab in April 2018, first outlining Kite's research on Lakota Ontologies and human interaction with technology and the necessity of ethical-ontological relationships with Artificial Intelligence. Now, this presentation usually includes Kite's artist talk and an in-depth discussion of nonhuman, ontological, and artificial intelligence research. In this talk, Kite investigates our current and future relationships to nonhumans, especially to technology and artificial intelligence, as well as developing protocols through her artistic practice. Humans are already surrounded by objects which are not understood to be intelligent or even alive, and seen as unworthy of relations. How can humanity create a future with relations between technology or artificial intelligence and humans without an ethical-ontological orientation with which to understand what is worthy of relation and what is not? In order to create relations with any nonhuman entity, not just entities which seem human, the first steps are to acknowledge, understand, and know that the nonhuman are ‘being’ in the first place. Indigenous ontologies already exist to understand forms of ‘being’ which are outside of humanity.
