Our trailer for Watch This!

Watch This! Revelations in Media Art presents contemporary artworks that trace the evolution of a continuously emerging medium. The exhibition explores the pervasive interdependence between technology and contemporary culture. The exhibition, on view at American Art beginning tomorrow and running through September 7, 2015 includes 44 objects from 1941 to 2013, which were acquired by the museum as part of its commitment to collecting and exhibiting media art. The exhibition marks the first time that 30 of these works will be on display at the museum.

To kick off the show, we will be presenting an artist panel discussion tomorrow, April 24 at 6 p.m. in the museum's McEvoy Auditorium. This event is free.
