ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
Signals and Forms is an exhibition of student work from Florida SouthWestern State College’s Digital Arts and Multimedia Production program. This show offers a survey of the dynamic and ever-evolving landscape of digital arts and creative technologies. The works on view investigate the expressive and material possibilities of digital media from sound and simulation to digital fabrication, virtual reality, and video installation. The exhibition reflects this multitude of possibilities across form, code, and concept. It celebrates how digital tools can be used not just to replicate the world, but to question, transform, and reimagine it.
In our current age technologies are often the sources of our anxieties or distractions thus it may be difficult to imagine expression and critical thought emerging from technological origins. Yet the student artists in this exhibition approach these tools not as fixed or predetermined good or bad, but rather as open, malleable, and capable of holding complexity, compassion, and meaning.

ABOUT THE PARTNERSHIP
BIG ARTS is proud to continue our partnership with the Florida SouthWestern State College School of Arts. BIG ARTS is dedicated to arts education. We want to create the opportunity for art students to present their work in The Dunham Family Gallery. Presenting finished work in a formal, public setting, in a gallery dedicated to bringing fine art to our community, is a daunting task. Curation, collaboration, and sharing one’s work take skill and courage. We are excited to see and experience the work of these dedicated young artists.
