Experimental Art & Technology Faculty Shine in “Signal and Trace” Exhibition
This summer, faculty from Experimental Art & Technology are making waves in the Albuquerque Journal, written by Logan Royce Beitman.
“Signal & Trace” highlights artworks at the intersection of human experience and technological mediation, engaging with systems of surveillance, autonomy, memory, and identity.
Beitman notes, “All the works in ‘Signal and Trace’ use digital media, and they all have a narrative component. So, the definitions of ‘signal’ and ‘trace’ from electronics and linguistic theory are both applicable here.”
Assistant Professor, Stewart Copeland’s “Observation Arena” dives into self-presentation in the age of AI. Professor Mary Tsiongas teamed up with Jim Roeber, combining archival images and audio into a layered piece. Associate Professor and Department Chair, Lee Montgomery, displayed thermal camera photographs, alongside the technology used to create them.
Whether in the studio or the lab, our faculty keep creating, exploring, and experimenting all year long to support their research and creative practices. “Signal & Trace” will be on view through August 15, 2025. Gallery One hours are 10:00-4:00 pm, Monday-Friday.
