movie day: 360 degree Projection Mapping – Exploring Pueblo Pottery

by | Nov 29, 2017 | | 0 Comments

Our new Exploring Pueblo Pottery project uses cutting-edge technology and captivating experience design to shine new light onto ancient motifs. We worked closely with UNM instructor and potter Clarence Cruz and Acoma artist Michelle Lowden of Milo Creations to design an experience that allows visitors to investigate these intricate designs, discover how they highlight important elements of pueblo life, and learn about the art, history, and culture behind their creation.

A 360 degree projection-mapping system is at the heart of this captivating experience. Projected designs are animated onto an oversized white olla, or water pot, by 4 overhead projectors. Visitors may select designs by using an application on a ultra-wide 34” touch display to project patterns and designs, in real time, on the body and neck of the large pot.

Ideum developed both the custom hardware and software on the visitor-controlled kiosk. To learn more about our experiential projects, visit our portfolio at: ideum.com/work

call for entry: Tiny Acts Topple Empires

by | Nov 24, 2017 | | 0 Comments

DEC 15th Deadline
The Woskob Family Gallery is delighted to announce an open call for the upcoming exhibition Tiny Acts Topple Empires. The exhibition will be curated by guest curator Heather Darcy Bhandari.
Bhandari invites artists to consider the manifold expressions of rebellion, and how they might be manifested in contemporary art. The exhibition takes its title from a quote in a 2004 essay by Danusha Goska, in which she writes, “when we study the biographies of our heroes, we learn that they spent years in preparation, doing tiny, decent things before one historical moment propelled them to center stage and used them to tilt empires.” The curator will consider work that engages with all types of rebellion: formal, material, political, and otherwise. Artworks engaging with notions of rupture, disruption, and change are sought. The works selected will be on display at the Woskob Family Gallery in downtown State College, PA from March 29 – June 2, 2018.
Heather Darcy Bhandari is a New York City-based curator, writer, and arts advocate. Her book Art/Work, written with Jonathan Melber, will be published in its second edition by Free Press this month. Bhandari was a Director at Mixed Greens gallery in New York City from 2000 to 2016 before becoming Director of Exhibitions at Smack Mellon in Brooklyn, New York. Bhandari is currently developing independent curatorial projects, teaches at Brown University, and serves on the board of directors of visual art at Omi International Art Center.
