Seeing the Unseen: A Telephotography Workshop with Jane Chang Mi

Digital Arts Research Center (DARC) 407 McHenry Rd, Santa Cruz, California

Of the sensory faculties through which we experience the world, vision is our dominant sense. Though the human eye is a complex organ, it is also limited in its field of view and dynamic range. This workshop will explore forms of vision beyond the human range through a critical lens.

Artist Talk: Kaili Chun

Digital Arts Research Center (DARC) 407 McHenry Rd, Santa Cruz, California

Kaili Chun is a sculptor and installation artist based in Hawaii. Her works address ideas of containment and exposure, agency and restraint.  Process and materials transform physical spaces into unique environments commenting on contemporary issues in her work.  She often constructs narratives through symbols and objects that address the impact of historical events on the present day.  Organic elements are sometimes included in her pieces, and the changes they undergo during the course of an exhibition metaphorically reference the nature of culture as an evolutionary process.
