The Art Center collaborates with the New Media Department at the University of Illinois at Chicago to offer graduate students the chance to create new public digital work to be presented on the only large-scale digital projection facade in the country dedicated to contemporary art.
The title Screenology references the current trend in research into digital media screens and public art and is also the subject of the seminar led by Daniel Sauter in the Electronic Visualization Laboratory’s Cyber-Commons facility at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Working with Sauter, the Art Center presents a group show of new work by the UIC graduate student artists who utilize the affordances of the Art Center’s unique media facade in different ways. Each of the seven artists’ work will be shown for a week.
