Fresh Media 2020
Exhibition: March 13th 2020 - March 15th 2020
The Boston Cyberarts Gallery is pleased to present Fresh Media 2020, the annual Dynamic Media Institute's student art exhibit. The Dynamic Media Institute (DMI,) at Massachusetts College of Art and Design, is a master's program composed of a diverse group of educators, developers, designers, and artists. The work created by DMI students explores the
role of dynamic media in both art and design. At the core to the program's mission is the engagement with audiences through user testing: our guests' feedback not only provide students with a better understanding of their master projects, but also help expand the field of interaction design as a whole.
Visitors to Fresh Media 2020 can expect a unique art and design gallery experience, where they participate in meaning-making through interaction. Using technologies as diverse as virtual and augmented reality, motion and sound sensors, soundscapes and others, our guests will participate in the expansion of the language of dynamic media. Fresh Media 2020 is an
opportunity to experience, first-hand, what is new in digital art and design. We invite you to explore with us exciting new frontiers of user experience.
