Tech Tools of the Trade: Contemporary New Media Art May 11, 2010

This survey exhibition features work produced by Bay Area-based or Bay Area-rooted artists using new media -- defined in the context of this exhibition as electronic, digital or web-based. Organized into accessible thematic sections, the work in this exhibition explores the ways that technology has shaped our sense of selves, our vision, our bodies and our world. The exhibition examines our cultural fascination with technology (including our continued faith in its benefits), our myriad uses of the internet, as well as the potentially troubling applications of technology in simulation and surveillance.
