Featuring Veronica Bollow, Chris Gridley, Laura Merians, Sara Pellegrini, Brett Simon, Claudia Valdes, and others.Introduction by Professor Shawn BrixeyArtists in PersonThe possibilities for narrative are endless. Given digital tools, those possibilities are sometimes unexpectedly expanded and at other times simply made easier to realize. It is in the oscillating space between expansion and realization that many of the students in the Art Practice Department's Digital Media Program create. Following the enormous success of last year's "Digital Dreams," tonight's program takes a second look at the incipient narrative modes being explored through accessible digital media. "Sea Changes" refers both to the paradigmatic shifts in image production provoked by new technologies and to the continual return to water-bound symbols that grace these works. In Chris Gridley's E.Laps (4:30 mins) a swimming pool is the site for a troubled reverie in which both birth and death lie below the surface. In Sara Pellegrini's Emptying the Glass (6:38 mins) a simple glass of water acts as the medium for a reimagining of one's self; after much struggle, the tape's protagonist is delivered. Brett Simon's Film for My Unborn Supermodel (8 mins) is a monologue directed at an in utero child soon to merge with the world of mediation, desire, and fame. These and many other works promise an intriguing glimpse of the future.-Steve Seid
