The Digital Arts and New Media (DANM) MFA graduate program at UCSC is proud to present its 2014 exhibition, UNDERCURRENTS.
Eleven emerging artists push back against prevailing ideas and definitions of digital art. Undercurrents of information and meaning run through the exhibition, connecting themes of conservation, activism, and representation.
Lisa Banks, Gene A Felice II, Holly Findlater, Harris David Harris, Matthew Jamieson, Phil Ly, Stacey Mason, John Mawhorter, Jonathan Menendez, David W. Moody, Danielle Williamson
In the Digital Arts and New Media MFA Program (DANM) at UC Santa Cruz two years of intensive study culminate in the development of individual projects, which premiere in an annual MFA exhibition. This year's works range from interactive ecological installations to site specific projections and critical interventions.
Curated by Shelby Graham, UNDERCURRENTS challenges and explores notions of narrative, community, play and ecology. The artists confront contemporary issues through interdisciplinary research and seek solutions through critical engagement with technology. Graham notes, "These socially concerned students express their concern about the environment through digital interactive histories, watershed studies, and community activism."
