Diana Thater: The Sympathetic Imagination—presented as part of The Hyundai Project: Art + Technology at LACMA—brought together 22 of Thater’s works from the early 1990s through 2015. The artist’s first comprehensive museum exhibition in the United States, The Sympathetic Imagination explored the subjectivity of animals and the complex relationships humans have constructed with nature, among other themes.

About the Program
The Hyundai Project: Art + Technology at LACMA supports exhibitions and programs that spark dialogue, inspire empathy, and encourage collaboration beyond boundaries. As a first step towards this goal, we supported the museum’s acquisition of major works by Robert Irwin and James Turrell, two now legendary artists who were members of LACMA’s original Art and Technology Lab program (1967–1971). Continuing its mission, The Hyundai Project: Art + Technology at LACMA presents exhibitions that illuminate the profound interplay between art and technology, underscoring their pivotal role in comprehending humanity and shaping our encounters with the future.
