Despite the perception of art and technology as contradictory, combined can generate fresh and groundbreaking pieces with varying degrees of interactivity and depth. Here at Pratt's Interactive Arts program, we investigate the relationship between art and technology, use a combination of computer software and physical artwork to create engaging experiences, and fully immerse those who participate.
Exhibition Open Call
The Interactive Open Studio seeks artworks that use technology creatively and artistically in the process or final presentation. Selected works will be curated into a gallery exhibition in the DDA Gallery from March 19th – 22nd, and the artists will be invited to the Open Studio Day event to share their insights and processes.
Pratt students from all majors are welcome to submit their work, including but not limited to Digital Art, Installation, Photography, Performance, Moving Image, and Animation.
