Artistic insights revealed the simultaneity of touch as a sensory experience and the ephemeral experience of being in touch electronically via the Internet. In Touchware, the electronic arts exhibition, creativity runs rampant with technology.
Artists create new frameworks for artistic expression, subverting the technology into their palette.
Using computing technology, artists improvise form, inventing the electronic arts. The audience explores this new frontier of artmaking, engaging in a variety of electronic art. Touchware includes contemporary work of electronic artists paired with the work of pioneering artists in this field. The objective of this project was to stimulate creation of new forms of artistic expression that wrap around and extend beyond the Web. The site, featuring 12-15 works, is available remotely via the Internet.
