---------------IMMEDIA 1901
http://entity.ummu.umich.edu/immedia1901/
The largest annual exhibition of new electronic and digital art in the
Mid-West. This year we have attracted submissions from across the
country and around the world. The sixth year running, immedia1901 is by far
the largest most diverse showcase yet!
This year's theme reflects 100 years of technological innovation:
immedia1901 attempts to draw a parallel between the industrial
revolution of the last turn-of-the-century with the current digital
revolution of
the new millennium.
We have gathered an eclectic and talented group of performers,
speakers, and artists this year and are expecting it to be a unique
experience
for both performer and audience community.
The exhibition will be open for viewing from 1 PM until 9 PM February
8th through February 18th in the Media Union on University of Michigan's
North Campus located at 2281 Bonisteel Blvd, Ann Arbor, MI. Opening
