In this new body of work, artist Desir\u00e9e Holman explores the overlap of technology, sci-fi pop culture, and New Age mysticism. Through an immersive, multimedia installation, Holman unpacks the iconography associated with these realms\u2013including aliens, auras, and time travelers\u2013to examine the space where fantasy can reveal truth. The exhibition emerges from Holman\u2019s long-standing interest in the communal uses of technology for creative, spiritual, and social fulfillment. Oscillating between terrestrial and extraterrestrial, and new and old ages, Sophont in Action speaks largely to our culturally developed conceptions of \u201cotherness\u201d and the shaping of identity within an evolving world.
\nFREE. (Members’ Preview: 5-6 PM.)<\/p>\n
