Visual artist Nancy Baker Cahill will discuss her new exhibition “Through Lines” alongside professors from different areas across UGA during a cross-disciplinary panel discussion entitled “Extended Realities: Intersections of Art, Augmented Reality, Law and Ethics.” Cahill’s interdisciplinary artistic practice highlights the role of emerging technologies in contemporary art as well as the breaking down of systematic consciousness, power and the overall impact on humans and the biosphere. Her visuals are incredibly abstract and offer an intriguing interpretation of these subjects through an animated, geolocated AR installation. The artist’s goal is to redefine what it means to create contemporary art through a visual process of finely rendered graphite drawings that evolve into torn paper sculptures that she then scans and animates into 3D digital immersive videos edited with a specific software. Cahill’s work will be located in the museum’s Jane and Harry Willson Sculpture Garden, as well as in the gallery, and will be available for viewing from Oct. 28–May 19.
