School of Visual Arts (SVA) presents the MFA Computer Art open studios 2016, bringing together multidisciplinary projects from our graduating students. The event will be open to the public on April 7 and 8 at the MFA Computer Art Studio.
The creative work encompasses a wide range of media including prints, games, video, animation, audio, and physical computing. “As digital art evolves, the line between it and contemporary art is disappearing. We see it as fine art combining digital and traditional art techniques,” states department chair Bruce Wands.
Exhibiting artists:
Yuxi Cao, Wengu Hu, Nakyung Lee, Tomonari Michigami, Yunling Song
