Please encourage your students to enter – all levels (105 on up) are welcome. Entries do not have to have been created as a class assignment. This exhibition is a unique opportunity for our department and school to receive recognition from the president and his guests.

Thanks for sharing this opportunity, and please let me know if you have any questions.

Purdue University Galleries invites you to join us THIS THURSDAY, Sept. 8 from 5:30 - 7 pm for the opening reception for "interspace," an exhibit of virtual and augmented reality in the Robert L. Ringel Gallery in Stewart Center. 

Featuring works by Rachel Rossin, Daniel Sauter, and Lucas Kuzma, this exhibition investigates virtual reality in the contemporary moment as an interspace between early experiments and notions of VR and those of today; between art, design and technology; between virtuality and reality; between rationality and emotion. 

The next wave of VR is happening now and is being heralded to reach its potential as a mass medium in the coming year. A range of predominantly vision-oriented immersive technologies promise more convincing immersive experiences - from new forms of empathy, storytelling and communication, to new ways of knowing and sensing the world.

"interspace" is part of the campus-wide event “Dawn or Doom 2016: Is Technology Moving Faster Than Our Ability to Understand?,” to be presented October 3 and 4. This exhibition is generously co-sponsored by American Digital and HPE.
