Plexiglass, LED lights, projectors and other technology will merge for the interactive “Strataform” exhibit at the Emily Davis Gallery, at The University of Akron’s Myers School of Art.
Opening April 3, “Strataform” reacts to whoever’s in the room, using sensors and projectors, casting dreamlike images onto the wall. This “living architecture” exhibit includes nearly 10,000 pieces of laser-cut thermoform plastic and was inspired after a visit from Toronto-based artist and architect Philip Beesley.
Beesley has collaborated with the students and staff for this show, which runs in tandem with “Collider 8,” a project that features 3-D printed items like the “tiny cinema” pieces with working screens. An artist’s reception will take place April 7, 5 to 7 p.m. The gallery is located at 150 E. Exchange St. Visit www.uakron.edu/arts for info.
