UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS
Mar 7 - May 15: Spacial Shift: Opening Reception~ Friday, March 9
Many of our traditionally spatial experiences are flattening. We are becoming a society addicted to the digital screen—often in awe of its novelty and new capabilities. Technology can represent physical interaction through digital forms, but substantive experience with dimension is inherently omitted. As tactile relationships are condensed to the two-dimensional, much is lost in translation.
Spatial Shift is a cultural phenomenon—a reaction to the coldness, abstraction, and disconnection of the digital world. It is a call to embrace the physical and dimensional. Reunite the two- and three-dimensional for the sake of basic human experience through the five senses.
Such interaction enhances our understanding of our environment and world. From an artist/designer's perspective, this can question why creative work is generally flat, and if the integration of volume can emphasize the message. How does material potential and tangible exchange enrich the maker's connection to the work throughout the creative process? What media is assumed to be two-dimensional, but has three-dimensional opportunities? How can a piece incite the viewer/audience to actively interact?
