rootoftwo Participates in 7x7 2025
Stamps Associate Professor John Marshall and Cézanne Charles, who work collaboratively as rootoftwo, have been selected to participate in Seven on Seven (7×7), Rhizome’s iconic art and technology program. The 2025 edition of 7×7 will take place at Cornell Tech in New York City on May 9, 2025.
Founded in 2010, 7×7 pairs leading artists with tech luminaries for deep conversations and groundbreaking collaborations, giving them a simple assignment: Make Something New. The results — which may be an app, a prototype, a performance, an artwork — are unveiled for the first time at a public event, after which many of these projects go on to further development and exhibition.
This year, 7×7 proposes that innovation isn’t just about new tools, but about navigating, subverting, and reshaping laws, from AI regulation to copyright battles and digital identity. rootoftwo has been paired with Michael G. Bennett, J.D., Ph.D., associate vice chancellor for Data Science and AI Strategy at the University of Illinois Chicago.
