Spring Student Showings
June 6, 2013, 6-9 pm. The Art Department at UC Irvine is hosting an evening of end-of-quarter project showings of many different kinds. The students in my Programming for Artists and Foundations of Media Design classes are taking part, with installations in two spaces. The interactive projects (programmed in Max/MSP/Jitter) are on the 2nd floor of the ACT Building in a show entitled "Interactive Space to the Max", while the media design projects (artists' boxes) are on the 3rd floor in a show entitled "Six Sides". Open to the public for this one night only.

Some gaps don't close.
