UCLA ART |SCI Center Gallery @ the California NanoSystems Institute at University of California Los Angeles

“Every bit of matter and energy exists in a state of blurry flux, allowing it to occupy not just two locations but an infinite number of them simultaneously.”

Roger Penrose

This exhibition will be held concurrently in two remote geographical locations – one in Singapore and one in Los Angeles. A diverse collection of art works were on display for this occasion, with a focus on the experimental animated artworks created by Mark Chavez in collaboration with Ina Conradi at the emergence of Media Art Nexus at Nanyang Technological University Singapore. The long-term goal of the exhibition is to strengthen a holistic approach to issues of arts education and art production in Singapore and around the world. The NTU Museum’s Art on Campus initiative, MAN, is one of several.

The exhibition is part of year long artist in residency at the UCLA Art|Sci Center.

“The UCLA Art|Sci Center is dedicated to pursuing and promoting the evolving “Third Culture” by facilitating the infinite potential of collaborations between (media) arts and (bio/nano) sciences. Through the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture’s Design Media Arts Department and the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI), the center supports visiting research scholars and artists-in-residence from around the world. Art|Sci Center is home to the Art|Sci Collective, an international group of researchers and creatives that develops projects, workshops, performances, and exhibitions that address social, ethical and environmental issues related to scientific innovations.”
