CHROMA: Deadline extended to February 28, 2020!

SEEKING TIME-BASED MEDIA (FILM, VIDEO, NEW MEDIA, ANIMATION, ETC) FROM WOMEN OF COLOR AND FEMME-IDENTIFIED PEOPLE OF COLOR.

CHROMA is a new screening event in response to Women’s Equality Day and in celebration of Women’s History Month. 2020 marks the 100 year anniversary of the day white women in America gained the right to vote. However, it is often misinterpreted as the day all women in America received the right to vote. Throughout the echoes of history, black and brown women were barred from many opportunities and spaces. Female/Femme artists of color still face some of these same barriers in the contemporary world of art and design.

In response, ExTV wishes to host our first ever CHROMA screening, a screening showcasing time-based work from women of color and femme-identified people of color. We hope that through this event we can showcase diverse voices from the margins in our community and use this opportunity to uplift their voices and work.

ExTV Presents: Among Other Things

This month’s web program features works that invoke a sense of uncertainty and reflection either on the part of the viewer or as artistic practice. These works push the viewer to draw upon their own interpretations and viewing experience to create associations and feelings not directly provided by the work, but encouraged by it.

February 2020 Programming

Now that we’re all officially back from the big Winter break and starting some new classes, it seemed like the ideal time to showcase works that fall under the umbrella theme of travel. Perhaps you went abroad or perhaps you didn’t make it farther than your fridge but either way these works should be of interest while you perhaps are waiting for our iconic elevators to show up.

PolyPlay 2020: Submissions due March 15, 2020!

OPEN TO GAMERS, 3D ANIMATORS, VR ARTISTS, AND OTHER NEW MEDIA-BASED ART

PolyPlay is SAIC’s annual experimental arcade gallery held by ExTV in the middle of the spring semester. We have seen in recent years, the swift emergence of technology within the art world without much time to reflect on the purpose of the medium itself specifically in relation to its inherent necessitation of direct audience engagement. Unlike other forms of time-based media art, such as performance events or film screenings, video games have yet to define its objective within the context of art galleries. We showcase and welcome new games made by students (present or graduated) exploring the new media world.

In the past, we have exhibited computer-operated games, along with performances, interactive sculptures, experimental art games/objects, 3D animations, virtual reality works, etc.

ExTV Presents: Eats & Sweets

In the wake of the holiday season of acceptable gorging, this month’s program features work that interrogates the presence of food in our lives, consumption, and the individual lives of the things we consume.
