UD/ART Selected University of Delaware Faculty
October 21st - November 29th, 2009
Reception: Thursday, November 12, 6-9pm

Information is synonymous with innovation. Given the speed of upgrades, shifts in needs and trends and the over abundance of media, it is clear to see that information is our currency and innovation is our means to managing this currency. The lure and need of innovation is strong, with the attraction to applications of technology and the impact these applications have on our changing world and identity. These applications are aimed to increase quality, convenience, memory, and connection. Information Translated explores the idea that information, as it pervades our culture and experience, needs to be interpreted, deciphered and reassigned. Given the scope and use of media in artwork, the artists in this exhibition use technology in a way to reassign our relationship to its very meaning. Technology, whether up to date or not, can be used in an innovative, not necessarily "new", way to explore histories, absurdity, communication, feedback and breakdown. The artists in this exhibition translate information in ways that make us self-aware, nostalgic, and confronted.

This exhibit showcases select University of Delaware faculty, who work with technology, information and meaning.

Information Translated features the work of Abby Donovan, Colette Gaiter, Amy Hicks, Rene' Marquez, Ashley Pigford, Troy Richards, and Lance Winn.
