Technology killed the traditional artist’s role as the premier recorder of visual experience, yet the contemporary artist finds wider realms of expression impossible without it. Open Architecture aims to explore the relationship between fine art and technology while potentially finding answers to some big questions: What is the relation between the message and the media? Is the meaning defined by its technical parameters?

Open Architecture is an exhibition of new media work by artists working with digital video media, performance, animation, and new genres, but with the common interest of blending the experiential with the virtual.
