Peck School of the Arts Presents 'Arts and Technology Night', 5/19

On Wednesday, May 19th, students from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Peck School of the Arts presents 'Arts and Technology Night'. Students will transform Kenilworth studios into three floors of performance, projection, interactive art, sound and digital media installations to see, experience and investigate. This student-run event is free and open to the public.

Showcasing capstone projects from students in the Arts and Technology program at UW-Milwaukee, Arts and Technology Night focuses on interdisciplinary art-making at the crossroads where technology meets visual and time-based media, sound and movement.

Student work from classes in Digital Studio Practice, including Body Art, Social Participation, and Video Strategies for Artists will also be presented. Body Art students will present collaborative performance pieces that give fresh perspectives on the dynamic and sometimes troubling relationship between bodies and objects. Social Participation will show documentation of team student projects that engaged with Installation Art, Guerrilla Art, Remix Art and Relational Aesthetics. Media will include images, video, web sites and objects. The Video Strategies for Artists class will screen projects that engage with formalistic composition, generative strategies, and alternative modes of storytelling.

The Peck School of the Arts' 'Arts and Technology Night' is on Wednesday, May 19th, 6pm – 9pm at UW-Milwaukee Kenilworth Studios, 1925 E. Kenilworth Place, Milwaukee, WI. For more information about the event or academic programs contact: Colleen Ludwig, Assistant Professor: ludwigc@uwm.edu
