Amos Cochran

Interdisciplinary artist Amos Cochran brings his latest visual installation, N.I. (Natural Intelligence), to the Bentonville landscape, addressing the modern era of constant interruption inspired by pop-up ads and doom scrolling. Through a human-designed audio and visual score, Cochran reflects on A.I. and the evolving role of human artists in a digital future, asking: Is there room for all of us? Alongside this work, Cochran curates ArcadeNow, an experimental arts event in the River Valley that champions innovative expressions in music, dance, film, and visual art. Launched in November 2022 at the Bakery District in Fort Smith, ArcadeNow introduced the community to a genre-defying blend of classical, electronic, avant-garde, jazz, and more, supported by an Artists 360 Grant through Mid-America Arts Alliance.
