CYBERARTS: Exploring Cybersecurity Through Imagery, Sound, Performance, Space, and Time
Exhibition Dates: October 5, 2024 – January 19, 2025
Presented by the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative (CCI), the Institute of Creativity, Arts, and Technology at Virginia Tech, and the City of Alexandria’s Office of the Arts.
Join Virginia researchers and artists as they challenge you to look at cybersecurity, and your personal data, in a new way. The 2024 CyberArts Exhibit explores identity, privacy, scams, misinformation, surveillance, artificial intelligence, and more in an ever-changing world.
Focused on cybersecurity, the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative (CCI) is an unprecedented statewide consortium of more than 40 Virginia universities and colleges. CCI is making Virginia a global leader in cybersecurity through workforce development, innovation, and research while using groundbreaking techniques including the arts.
CCI is expanding how cybersecurity is viewed and launched the CCI CyberArts Program across Virginia and has exhibited in the past at Virginia Tech’s Moss Arts Center and the Taubman Museum of Art. After a rigorous review process, CCI funded projects submitted by artists and researchers from Blue Ridge Community College, George Mason University, James Madison University, Old Dominion University, Virginia Commonwealth University, and Virginia Tech. Visitors to the exhibit will experience the very best of what artists and researchers developed, depicting hauntingly beautiful interpretations of information technology we take for granted.
You’ll come away from this exhibit understanding how the technology we enjoy exposes our vulnerabilities as humans, and how cybersecurity concerns touch our everyday lives.
Public Reception: October 18, 6:00pm – 8:00pm
Join researchers, artists, civic leaders, and the public for a reception at Torpedo Factory Art Center to celebrate, mingle and learn. Light food and bar provided. Registration is required.
