This exhibition features works by SSU art students as part of the ArtS 498: New Media course. Using a variety of contemporary media, including sounds, video, digital photography, and performance, the artworks in Or the Sea look at water from a variety of angles, including its physical characteristics, its political repercussions, its religious symbolism, and as poetic metaphor.
The course and the exhibition are part of the year-long campus-wide initiative Water Works, which explores inland water flow as a resource, theme, and metaphor with a year of academics, fine arts, live theatre, and dance.
