*Bits.Atoms.Neurons.Genes* Micro_Gestures at the Edge of Invisibility will be an On/Off line space for MFA artists in the Visual Arts Department at UCSD to explore and present works at the edge of invisibility, at the edge of the digital and biological, at the edge of micro-robotics and nano-art, from in-virtu to in-vivo works and back.
13 January - 25 March, 2006
"From lithographs to examples of electronic civil disobedience, the diverse works of seven new University of California, San Diego Department of Visual Arts faculty members is currently featured in the University Art Gallery, UCSD.
NEW VISUAL ARTS FACULTY 2006 includes work by artist/photographer Amy Adler, media theorist Jordan Crandall, architect Teddy Cruz, "father of hacktivism" Ricardo Dominguez, techno-artist Natalie Jeremijenko and new-media/environmental artist Brett Stalbaum.
The show reflects the interdisciplinary focus central to both the UCSD Visual Arts Department and the gallery. The exhibited works demonstrate a research orientation and level of innovation and risk-taking that is highly valued by the university community. These faculty members are forging new paths in art-making and simultaneously enriching their students by example, encouraging them to also reach across media-specific boundaries."
