SAIC faculty members Tiffany Holmes, Christopher Baker, and France Cadet are exhibiting work in a show called Crossing Wires, curated by Barbara Blades and Debra Tolchinsky at the Evanston Art Center which opens on April 15, 2012.
Technology has traditionally been used to make what functions function faster, easier, and more efficiently. We expect computers, robots, and machines to continue to take over the performance of chores and ramp up the production of goods. But what happens when technology is used for the nonfunctional, to make what is functional less functional? What happens when technology, especially high technology, is used for art or for play?
Show was reviewed in the most recent ArtLetter.
