empowa is a new media artist and creative technologist, and the founder of TIAT, the intersection of art and technology, in San Francisco.

For her IRL guide to San Francisco, empowa maps five rooms where the city's art and technology scenes meet, from a Mission district hub for antidisciplinary collaboration to a spaceship-like spatial sound theater beloved by audiophiles since the late 1950s, by way of her own gallery for creative technologists on Powell Street.

Gray Area

One of my favorite places in San Francisco, Gray Area's mission is to cultivate, sustain, and apply antidisciplinary collaboration — integrating art, technology, science, and the humanities — towards a more equitable and regenerative future. Here, you'll find anything from your favorite underground music artists to the most critically acclaimed art performances.
