Dr. Saper's documentation: Puppets for the Birds
Cross-Pollinated Hybrid Art Abuzz
Exhibition at Towson University
This exhibition addresses cross-pollination in the arts through metaphor with an emphasis on digital and kinetic media linked to processes found in the natural world. Ideas from one field germinate and take root in another. Interdisciplinary artists fly between a variety of media, and boundaries break down. The artists featured in this exhibition are agents of change, often carrying seeds of inspiration from one art form to another and from the field of science to that of the visual arts.
Artists included in this exhibition are regional national, and international: Nicky Assmann; Rebecca Black and Bill Tomlinson; Lee Boot; Elizabeth Demaray with Ahmed Elgammal, Qingze Zou and Simeon Kotchoni; Juan Fontanive, Billy Friebele, Kelly Gallagher, Ariana Gerstein; Clarissa Gregory; Ruth Hayes; Amy Hicks, Dennis Hlynsky; Douglas Hudson; Gina Kamenstky; Alison Reiko Loader and Christopher Plenzich; Monteith McCollum; Brandon Morse; Patuxtent Wildlife Research Center, Allison Schulnik; and Nadav Wiessman. Curated by Lynn Tomlinson.
Dr. Craig Saper documented (with video and photographs) a group's art-for-science-research work in this exhibit. His documentation is called Puppets For The Birds … and concerns Whooping Crane training.
