The artwork in this exhibition represents collaboration between students and faculty in the art and computer science departments through the Emergent Patterns project, exploring the complex patterns and processes that can emerge in visual structures. They worked with software programs to produce different forms of recurring, natural patterns. These organic structures and patterns were then combined in layers of transparent surfaces. The multiple-layered works allow the viewer to see the evolutionary track back through the surface to the less complex visual systems from which the final image emerges.

Zany and smart, magical and funny, these short plays celebrate the fragility of communication to create what Time has called “theater that aerobicizes the brain and tickles the heart.” Directed by students enrolled in Theater 314 (Stage Direction).
