ACTION 12: Cyber Wall Installation

Day 3
May 31, 2016
Title: Cyber Wall Installation
Artist: Arpie Shekoyan, UCSD Visual Art Dept

9:00 am., Outside gallery. The installation incorporates circuit boards that are sabotaged by fake crystals. I turned in this project as a small installation for my sculpture assignment, but it had themes of the artists' positions here at UCSD and how the majors are seen on a surface level. It also deals with "hard" and "soft" majors, and how the humanities are constantly invalidated. This piece is meant to poke fun at the general climate of this school and how much respect and accommodation is paid for the science/technology aspect and how the arts are always undervalued even though it's what has created and sustained the culture and dialogue that exists within our campus.
