Rip Space is a project and exhibition hub in Downtown LA, pushing the boundaries of art, media, tech, AI, and hacker culture. Imagine 2600/Phrack magazine mashed up with Andy Warhol's The Factory.

We're incubating the cultural movements that will define how society relates to artificial intelligence and emergent technologies in this new era.

The artists experimenting in our space today will be the voices shaping public perception of AI and robotics and art and the future. Just as consumer turntables birthed hip-hop, affordable Casio keyboards created electronic music, and camcorders launched indie film, and home computers created hacker culture; all of them spanned global cultures and billion dollar industries; accessible AI tools, open source LLMs, robots, drones are spawning entirely new art forms and culture.

Rip Space is ground zero for this cultural shift.
