From April 17 to June 24, 2009, the Digital Arts and New Media MFA program at UC Santa Cruz presents the work of ten graduate students in a two-part exhibition at The Museum of Art & History in downtown Santa Cruz. We invite you to interact with the newest generation of digital media art and artists at the receptions on Friday, May 1 and Friday, June 5.
Entitled interACTIVATE, this exhibition is the culmination of two years of research and artistic exploration into digital media art and its social impact. The show includes new media works that explore performativity, interactivity, participation and politics. These works probe the interplay of private and public space and interrogate the edges of contemporary new media art practice.
