'Digitalia' exhibition on view through March 27
11:39 a.m., March 13, 2007--“Digitalia,” an exhibition of artwork by Colette Gaiter, UD associate professor of art, is on display through Tuesday, March 27, in the Recitation Hall Gallery, with a complementary lecture by the artist set for 5 p.m., Wednesday, March 21, in a yet-to-be announced location. Showcased work explores the new media frontier and includes early works created with Hypercard dating from 1991 to current works created with the latest computer graphics software and technology. About her work Gaiter said, “My work examines relationships between facts, perceptions and contemporary mythology as presented in mass media. My objective is to create environments that allow room for paradox and ambiguity. Digital media allow me to reconfigure images and texts, juxtapose them and present them in ways that evoke commercial media while critically examining them. I look for circumstances that do not reinforce the myths we depend on to explain the unexplainable.” Gaiter earned her bachelor of fine arts degree from Carnegie Mellon University in 1976 and her master of arts degree from Hamline University in 1999 and studied computer and graphic arts at the Parsons School of Design in New York City. Before joining UD's Department of Art last September, she held professorships at Columbia College in Chicago and the University of Minnesota and the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, both in Minneapolis. She has lectured and presented widely and has won several grants, including Columbia College Summer Faculty Development grants, Jerome Foundation Travel and Study grants and McKnight Foundation Fellowship grants. Her work can be viewed at [www.digidiva.net]. The “Digitalia” exhibit, artist lecture and reception following the lecture are free and open to the public.
