CyberArt:
Here and Now Exhibit
In September 2003, the CyberArt: Here
and Now explored the complex interactions between art and
technology. The month long exhibition included print, sculpture,
animation, and video art by David Gordon, Doctor T, and
Walter Wright. Weekly performances of live video manipulation,
music, stand-up comedy, and contemporary and historical
film were also included. From the mechanical donation box
to the "VideoJAM" all aspects of this show reflected
technology through the eyes of the artists. The assemblage
of artists and performers for Cyberart: Here and Now were
from a wide range of disciplines and came together to create
an assemblage as eclectic and varied as the technologies
represented in the show.
