Ian Cheng's artificially-intelligent artwork simulates a story without end. It's mesmerizing, and impossible to predict how the characters will interact and behave. At the September 21, 2017 Third Thursday at CMOA, we opened an exhibition of his latest work. Here are some of the reactions from attendees.
