Students display interactive works

Here is a sampling of documentation from last week’s exhibition of projects by student-participants in Interactive Media Art (Art-335, instructor: Barbara Lattanzi).  The show was in the Turner Immersive Gallery. Gallery visitors animated the art by animating themselves, using their own cast shadows and proximities to objects or manipulation of light and buttons to trigger sounds, movements, bristling magnetized particles, ghosts.

The show included work by Michael Downie, Aya Kaufmann, Ting Liu, Olivia Ramos, Adam Stacey, and Dan Anderson (T.A.).

“The Front Yard” at the Burchfield-Penney Art Center, Buffalo

The Burchfield-Penney Art Center inaugurated “The Front Yard“, a new, permanent, outdoor exhibition platform, on Friday, Oct.18.  Works by two Expanded Media faculty – Andrew DeutschBarbara Lattanzi – were among those featured in the opening event.  Videos were screened on the new 3-channel projection system (housed in 3 custom-designed towers) with 5.1 surround-sound system. An accumulating number of artists’ projects will be exhibited day and night (sounds during the day and video and sonic works at night), triggered by environmental sensors from the building’s surroundings, all year round.

Here are a couple of photos taken at “The Front Yard
