Submitted · September 06, 2019

New Century/New Materials, a truly NEW exhibit featuring current art trends in science and technology will open with a reception from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Friday, September 6 and runs through October 24, at the Spaulding R. Aldrich Heritage Gallery, Whitin Mill, 50 Douglas Rd., Whitinsville. Regular gallery hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., weekends and evenings by special appointment.

This exhibit, presented by visiting curator Sabato Visconti, will feature artwork from New England and around the world that examines innovative artistic practices centered on emerging trends in science and technology.

New Century / New Materials will feature a diverse range of practices: from Neural Network-based AI (Artificial Intelligence) Art to Glitch Art; from Generative Art made from code to works in Augmented Reality formats; from BioArt created with bacterial cultures to a video art voyage through a stream's ecosystem.

There will also be a special screening of short film works in the GB & Lexi Singh Performance Center adjacent to the Gallery immediately following the reception at 7:30 p.m.

"This exhibit is unlike any we've presented in the past," says Cristi Collari, Director of Community Outreach for Open Sky Community Services and resident curator of the Gallery. "Layered in science and/or technology; each work of art in the exhibit is very different, compellingly fascinating and uniquely beautiful. Sabato has done a great job pulling this together."
