Students prepare for annual showcase


Students of the 色多多视频APP Photography and Digital Imaging, Graphic Design, and Interactive Multimedia programs have joined forces for a collaborative showcase entitled Taking Stock. Taking Stock will be presented to the public in the Arts Guild at 115 Richmond Street, Charlottetown. The public is welcome to the opening night party on Monday, May 15th at 7 pm; or to view the work from May 16th through May 18th from noon to 5 pm.

The theme of this year's exhibit reflects the creative changes that an image undergoes in modern visual culture. For the exhibit, students in the Photography and Digital Imaging program have passed along some of their stock photography to the Graphic Design and Interactive Multimedia programs. These designers have then created new forms based on what was suggested imaginatively to them by the original photographs, or may even have designed something that contradicts the original message.

Thus, a photographer's still composition might be re-framed and re-imagined by a graphic designer, presenting it in a new context with distinctive layout and typography. In the hands of an interactive designer, the same image may end up in a website interface, juxtaposed against a set of interactive choices, or even as a motion composition for the computer and television screen. The show will trace the path of some of these transformations through the students' new creative work. The exhibit will feature displays of both the original photographs and their reincarnations.

There will be exhibits in both the theatre level and the lower gallery of the Arts Guild on opening night. The work in the lower gallery will remain on display until the 18th.
