Exploring cybersecurity through imagery, sound, performance, space, and time

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.

Information on an October 18 Reception to come.

Note: The end date of this exhibition may change.
