PixelShift introduces exciting new works by 20 students from the IAM Time-Based Composing and Sound & Motion classes. The artists investigate the perception of space while exploring themes of myth, time, social networking, viral campaigns, the real and unreal. The work will be presented through the seemingly simple, yet exceedingly complex art of digitally manipulated pixels within the physical space of multiple graphics monitors. The exhibit features explorations of sound as shape and structure using the computer as a creative visualization tool. Narratives and subliminal messages pepper this collection of work from today’s up-and-coming media artists.

As a celebration of the Columbia College Chicago’s Game Design Program, the Interactive Arts and Media Department at Columbia College Chicago is pleased to present the 2nd annual Art of Play exhibition at The Project Room, October 30th – November 27th. Works range from fine art dealing with notions of playfulness to video and cellular phone games that the audience can literally play.

The third annual Freshmen and Transfer Student Exhibition, Soft Machine centers around the college-wide initiative welcoming Jack Kerouac’s On The Road scroll to Columbia College. Curated by the IAM Senior Practicum class, this exhibition will focus on artwork inspired by the disparate group of poets, artists, filmmakers and musicians who made up the Beat Generation and transformed the American cultural landscape.
