Opening Reception: March 6Virtual Panel Discussion: March 26, 6pm
Join us for the latest collaboration between the Institute for Electronic Arts (iea) at Alfred University and RoCo. "Authenticity as Illusion" features two recent video artworks by Jake Brush (iea alum) and Kelli S Williams. The exhibition is curated by Myles Calvert, director of iea.
New media, particularly reality TV and queer culture, creates a chaotic, hyperreal digital identity crisis. The self is a fluid performance, warped by societal pressure and cultural appropriation, blurring the line between authentic and edited. Artists explore this, revealing that reality is fiercely crafted, not fixed, and that authenticity is an illusion.
