Drawing in and out of the Box


Drawing in and out of the Box

This is the first in a series of collaborations between the drawing
and digital arts programs in the Department of Art and Art History
at Florida International University.

As an introduction we have chosen an initiative and response
relationship between a high activity intuitive workshop and a digital
arts group working on a wide arc of disciplines ranging from video
and computer generated imagery to mobile electronic mark making
machines.

The perverse marriage of a dirty, physically exhausting, emotionally
demanding activity with essentially clean controlled technologically
driven systems and approaches seems destined to failure.
Yet what transpired was an invigorating and exciting experience
which established an engrossing state of creative fluidity and synthesis
extending the boundaries of both areas.

In a relatively short period of time the students explored aspects such
as large wall paintings and drawings, video, installation, performance,
kinetics, computer graphics and public art.

The work began on walls and computer screens transmuted between
several studios and eventually was projected into the public domain.

This was the introductory session, It was merely a working diagram
lasting less than a day, but it did give us a glimpse of the possibilities.

The next session will be much bigger, longer and deeper with a greater
community involvement and a more ambitious conceptual agenda.
