Who’s been making artwork this semester and how? As new technology based artwork grows and grapples with artificial intelligence we ask, who makes the work? Are the computer’s simulations sympathetic to our artistic intentions? What can we make that they cannot? What can they make that we cannot? Come see what our students have been up to in this AU 2023 exhibition of Art & Technology artwork at the Department of Art Open House.
The exhibition features a range of work coming out of our Digital Imaging, 3D modeling, Internet Art, Robotics, and Animation courses. Learn about natural ink with the Living Art Eco Lab, experience Virtual Reality projects, and hang out with the Lichen Likers.
Can a machine learn the environment? Artist Tega Brain will visit The Ohio State University campus to address this question as well as discuss her life and work in digital art.

She is an Industry Associate Professor of Integrated Design and Media at New York University.
The event will take place in the Wexner Center Film/Video Theater and is free and open to the public. Tega will be doing studio visits with graduate students in Art while on campus.
Go see the latest animation by Art & Technology faculty Illya Mousavijad, playing in the Box at the Wexner Center for the Arts. Aug 24, 2023–Oct 31, 2023
Between a Lost Home and a Losing Destination explores exile and migration in the Iranian diaspora. Mousavijad uses computer-generated animation techniques to meticulously render objects from his home country of Iran, including rugs, dishes, and glassware. Alongside animated models of fresh Iranian fruits and food, these objects are placed on top of the rendered rugs. The objects dance around as the rug moves underneath, creating a surreal collision of memory and present reality.
The work is inspired by the story of the magic carpet from the collection of Middle Eastern folk tales One Thousand and One Nights, with the carpet representing both the means of transcending place and the experience of exile. By recreating the objects associated with family feasts in Iran, Mousavijad highlights how inaccessible his memories are from his current location in the United States and the constraints faced by family and friends in Iran. (6:50 mins., HD video) Free for all audiences.
