Artist, professor, Chris Coleman delivered a lecture and some technical insight to his work.  May 5, in Millrace 1 Room 114, John Park’s 3D Animation class and Ying Tan’s Experimental Animation class both attended.  Coleman’s work has always reflected our love of technology, our insistence on its sensitive application and our standard of a critically insightful concept(s).  Experiencing his time-based work means flying through bordered landscapes, dodging bio-terrorism, and trying to decipher how place can confuse identity. Coleman discussed much of his work and its trajectory.  His recent animation, Magnitude of the Continental Divides, winner of the Babelgum Metropolis Award, is elegant, pointed and critical….and if that ain’t Digital Arts, I don’t know what is.  If you are not familiar with Chris Coleman’s work, go now, we’ll all be better for it.

obviously Drew was impressed
