On Thursday, February 27, I had the opportunity\u00a0<\/span>to attend the Trajectory Series Opening Reception at the\u00a0<\/span>Villa Terrace\u00a0<\/span>Decorative\u00a0<\/span>Art<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0Museum<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>I was very excited to attend this event<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>as I have always wanted to visit\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>m<\/span>useum<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>I was able to bring my mom along, and this was also\u00a0<\/span>the first time she has been to Villa Terrace.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The building itself\u00a0<\/span>is<\/span>\u00a0a work of art. Even in the middle of winter, being in the outdoor courtyard\u00a0<\/span>made<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>me feel like\u00a0<\/span>I was in a European count<\/span>r<\/span>y.\u00a0<\/span>It is a hidden treasure that many people only experience from its beautiful view facing Lincoln Memorial Drive.\u00a0<\/span>The Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum is free to the public on the first Wednesday of each month and is only $7 for students every day<\/span>. It is a short walk from 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s Kenilworth Square Apartments<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Christopher Willey,\u00a0<\/span>who is the\u00a0<\/span>director of the Immersive Media Lab<\/span>\u00a0at 51ÁÔÆæ and lectures on digital arts and culture<\/span> in the Peck School of the Arts in the Art & Design department, <\/span>is the organizer and<\/span>\u00a0curator of this exhibition<\/span>. He\u00a0<\/span>describe<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0the Trajectory Series as, \u201c<\/span>seek<\/span>ing<\/span>\u00a0to redefine the overburdened word\u00a0<\/span>\u2018<\/span>technology<\/span>\u2019<\/span>\u00a0as a term that describes behaviors. The exhibition looks at the role creative behaviors play in the evolution of technology<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and reframes systems like language, culture, and the scientific method.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibit<\/span>ion<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>is<\/span>\u00a0made up of\u00a0<\/span>works<\/span>\u00a0by<\/span>\u00a0contributing artists<\/span>\u00a0Benjamin\u00a0<\/span>Bardou<\/span>, Sandra Byers, Bryan Cera, Alex\u00a0<\/span>Chowaniec<\/span>, Jess Holz, Eduardo\u00a0<\/span>Kac<\/span>, Quinn Madison, A. Bill Miller, Alex Meyers<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0and Thomas Thwaites.\u00a0<\/span>The pieces consist of\u00a0<\/span>all different types of mediums\u00a0<\/span>including\u00a0<\/span>virtual reality, 3-D printed\u00a0<\/span>sculptures, charcoal drawings<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0and even\u00a0<\/span>a live p<\/span>etunia that\u00a0<\/span>is<\/span>\u00a0composed of human genes.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

At the opening, Willey talk<\/span>ed<\/span>\u00a0about\u00a0<\/span>his thinking in planning this show<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>He<\/span>\u00a0explained that\u00a0<\/span>the<\/span>\u00a0research for th<\/span>is<\/span>\u00a0exhibit<\/span>ion<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>began<\/span>\u00a0by looking at disasters in th<\/span>e<\/span>\u00a0world.\u00a0<\/span>He noticed that technology played some role in these<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>disasters and\u00a0<\/span>implored us to take it on as our job to look closely\u00a0<\/span>and\u00a0<\/span>seek to\u00a0<\/span>understand how we mov<\/span>e<\/span>\u00a0forward\u00a0<\/span>together: to use what we have inherited from our ancestors, preserving the technology from the past and to pass\u00a0<\/span>our current knowledge on to future generations.\u00a0<\/span>Willey\u00a0<\/span>explained<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>that\u00a0<\/span>for<\/span>\u00a0him<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>technology is an action<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>rather than a thing.\u00a0<\/span>An act that turns into behaviors and patterns which form systems.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0<\/span>Trajectory Series\u00a0<\/span>is<\/span>\u00a0a\u00a0<\/span>fantastic exhibit that\u00a0<\/span>features the<\/span>\u00a0efforts of\u00a0<\/span>countless individuals\u00a0<\/span>and runs at the\u00a0<\/span>Villa Terrace Decorative Arts M<\/span>useum until July 26, 2020.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
