Event description
Join us for this cross-disciplinary event co-hosted by Graduate Fine Arts, Graduate Design, Game Arts, Graphic Design and the Fine Arts Division as we welcome the groundbreaking artist, Joseph De Lappe, to discuss his wide-ranging work on the frontiers of tactical media and art-activism. Working with electronic and new media since 1983, his work in online gaming performance, sculpture, and electromechanical installation have been shown extensively throughout the world. Often creating edgy compositions across a variety of media, De Lappe's work frequently makes creative interventions into such contemporary issues as drone warfare, gun violence, and the digital domain. In 2017 he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, and he has developed works for venues such as Eyebeam in New York, The Guangdong Museum of Art, China, Transitio MX, Mexico City and the ICC Intercommunication Center, Tokyo, among many others.
