In an unprecedented short amount of time, our society has witnessed the
explosive growth of affordable technology, forever changing the ways in
which we interact, learn, entertain, navigate, and even express ourselves.
Artists have also embraced these technologies in their art practices
illustrating the ever-changing methods of how we engage with each other and
the world.
Techno_Culture is an exhibition of works from artists utilizing
numerous forms of electronic technology in their creative process. Presented
in association with the Department of Transmedia’s Computer Art program at
Syracuse University, the show offers a sampling of the vast arena of art
forms unique within our digital-based culture.
