festival

The DANM Festival is a forum for the investigation of the boundaries and possibilities of digital art and new media.
How have the roles of the artist and audience evolved in these new forms of art? How do the established disciplines such as the arts, computer sciences and engineering, and social sciences contribute to this rapidly evolving field? How do history, theory and criticism respond to the wide variety of new media practices?

The festival will explore these issues through exhibitions at The Museum of Art & History @ The McPherson Center and the Porter Sesnon Gallery, through film screenings in collaboration with the Santa Cruz Film Festival, symposia, music performances and satellite events that will take place throughout April, May and June 2006. It will present the work of artists such as Jim Campbell, Paul DeMarinis and Camille Utterback, panels of expert speakers, and members of the DANM MFA Program.
