Donna Haraway’s 1985 piece “A Cyborg Manifesto” inspired a generation of artists and theorists to dissect the relationships between technology, labor, gender and the human body. 30 years later, filmmaker Hito Steyerl titled her video installation after a quote from the text: “machines made of pure sunlight.” 2015’s surreal and expansive Factory of the Sun borrows from video games, viral social media trends and documentary film to tell a visual narrative of workers made to dance in a motion-capture studio to produce artificial sunshine.

This week, South First Fridays art walk and street market are back with artists showing their paintings, ceramics, photographs, music and more all along the SoFA District. Exhibitions include young musicians slangin’ tunes for San Jose Jazz on the corner of First and San Carlos, and a film/art show with live musical accompaniment at KALEID Gallery. At MACLA, a new exhibition memorializes loved ones lost to COVID, and invites the community to contribute photos of their own loved ones. There’s plenty more, plus onsite food trucks from 3 Brothers Kitchen and Road Doggs to satisfy your cravings.
