We’re a small team with big ideas

Rew Otto Gordon is a cultural curator based in the American Midwest, primarily Chicago, IL. They cofounded the Token Institute with a number of Northwestern graduate students as a place to incubate nuanced perspectives around AI. They constantly find themselves pulled between the excitement of technological advancements and the gloom of an ever more uncertain future because of them.

Previous to cofounding Token, Rew founded Mitchell Street Arts - an award winning contemporary X community art center in Milwaukee, WI. Previous engagements have also been with SALT Galata Istanbul and the MCA Chicago.
