Meshed Potatoes – Campus Monitors February 2024

This month, the campus monitors are featuring selected works from the Experimental 3D and Digital Bodies Performed Fall 2023 classes taught by Anneli Goeller!

Meshed Potatoes is an exhibition of selected works from the fall 2023 Experimental 3D and Digital
Bodies Performed classes at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. This exhibition showcases
the wide breadth of workflows among SAIC artists working in experimental 3D animation and new
media. These works range from narrative animations, interactive online games, abstract
explorations of 3D space, speculative fiction, to live visuals from a DJ set.
