Creative Computation Showcase to Highlight Interdisciplinary Art and Innovation at Meadows
From sound-reactive installations to glow-in-the-dark sculptures, attendees will experience interactive projects from students in the Creative Computation program and beyond.
The Center of Creative Computation will present its biannual student showcase on Thursday, December 4 from 7:00–9:00 p.m. in the Gene and Jerry Jones Grand Atrium of the Owen Arts Center. The showcase, which features a wide range of experimental digital work created throughout the semester, brings together students from Creative Coding, Aesthetics & Computation, Digital Sound, Sculpture, and senior-level project courses, each contributing work that reflects the growing diversity of the program.
This semester’s showcase includes several notable collaborative features. The performance group S.M.I.L.E. will premiere two new computational music works composed specifically for the acoustics and spatial layout of the atrium. Aesthetics & Computation students have developed site-specific projection-mapped installations that will be displayed throughout the space, alongside live audio-reactive visuals created to accompany S.M.I.L.E.’s performance.
In addition to these digital pieces, the exhibition expands into physical media with 3D glow-in-the-dark sculpturesproduced by students in Professor Emily Budd’s sculpture classes, which will be installed across several points in the Atrium.
A number of individual projects will also be highlighted. Music Composition graduate student Maslin Markle will present an interactive bass piece that responds to audience movement and proximity. Junior Creative Computation students will debut a variety of interactive systems, including a student-designed escape-room-style video game, a personality-based interactive projector installation, a creative stock portfolio and a range of audiovisual experiments.
Classmate projects range from game design to sensor-driven interactive art, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the Creative Computation curriculum. Visitors can expect to encounter work that shifts between the playful, technical, and conceptual, sometimes all within the same project.
The upcoming showcase, which is open to both the 无码专区 community and the public, demonstrates not only what students have completed at the end of the term but also how computation continues to evolve as a creative medium within Meadows School of the Arts. We hope to see you there!
