Perfect with Pixel
September 9 through October 5, 2008
Where: Dorothy Uber Gallery
When people discuss the use of digital technology in the realm of art, it is often dominated by the critique against the missing physical "mark" of the artist. There are also discussions about the authorship of the artist, the lack of physicality and the absence of the "aura" in the work. While some argue that digital technology is detrimental to traditional art methods, others argue that it is another tool that not only offers many more options, but also has an aesthetic unique to itself. There are also some who believe that while digital and traditional media have individual potentials, the combination of both media to create successful works of art is an obvious future.
The exhibition "Perfect with Pixel" shows works of art that further this discussion and that integrate traditional media (print, painting, drawing and photography) with the digital medium as an integral part of its creation.

This first annual summer community art exhibition will enhance experiential learning opportunities for students, enrich community life, develop an opportunity for creative activity, provide an entry connection with audiences, artists and potential students and expand the University's engagement with the local community.
Open to anyone age 16 and older living in 11 northwest Ohio counties, with a modest entry fee of $15-20 per 3 works, this show is modeled on the Cleveland State "People's Art Show", where all work submitted is hung. Professional jurors will award cash prizes if sufficient funding is secured. An opportunity for visitors to vote for a 'popular choice' award will be offered. Planning and staffing will be accomplished by an undergraduate arts management service-learning class, student interns, and volunteers.
