Virtual Topologies: An Evening in Motion

A celebratory social gathering to commence “New Media Architecture(s): Virtual Topologies in Urban Spaces,” an exhibition of moving-image and new media artworks presented on architectural scale video displays and projection-mapped upon the Daniels & Fisher Tower in the downtown Denver Theater District. The artists in this exhibition will address the affordances and complexities of pervasive media display in the urban landscape. Participating artists find themselves in the mixed company of paid advertisements and programmed marketing, their works randomly activated within a public display system, amidst an assortment of unrelated, countervailing content. Their brief aesthetic interruptions will offer moments of reflection, humor, and repose amidst an onslaught of marketed programming, as well as opportunities to consider place-making and the social relations of pervasive media topologies in the contemporary urban space. This exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Denver Theater District, Night Lights Denver, and ACM SIGGRAPH Digital Arts Committee.
