Event 1

The first Event I went to was the Digital Arts Senior Exhibit at OTIS.




The entirety of the Exhibit was speaking on people's responses to what is going on in culture today.  People chose different ways to express these experiences.

The first Piece By Jamie Nichols "It All Started With a Chromosome."  The writing at the bottom describes a futuristic time where life on Earth was no longer sustainable.  The only way to survive was to move to Space.  These people called Commonwealth were able to create a synthetic chromosome that was able to live in the harsh environment on Mars.  This relates to our topics in class both in discussing changes in DNA, as well as space exploration.

 Ellen Choi's Five 22 is focused on communication in hidden ways.  These nails are made for people in foreign countries being oppressed by their religious beliefs and the only way to continue them is by communicating nonverbally.  They use the nails and different designs to communicate where they are going and other details.  I felt this related to the topic by there is always room on the nano level.  I know this isn't necessarily nano, but communication on smaller levels that are hidden felt related to the topic at hand.

Overall the exhibit was relating much to modern thought of how technology, the environment, and people being affected and evolving with it is creating a new culture and new place for future generations.  And we are in the middle of its evolution.
