"I utilize a variety of animation techniques, including 3D character design, motion capture, A.I. and generative art to create a hallucinatory digital landscape that is both absurdist, emotional and spiritual. Note I said 'both' even though that's three things. But also note: I did say absurd. My rhetoric, if not my grammar, remains unimpeachable." - Sean Capone

Another sneak peek of AYDO's (A young Yu & Nicholas Oh) upcoming exhibition, DREAMS ✨

DREAMS explores ancestral and personal dreams through sculptural and video installations. Ancestral dreams refer to the experiences of the artists' ancestors, which they recall and meditate through spiritual ritual-based practices that center on themes of generational trauma, family, and diaspora.

On view in HUB Gallery beginning November 11!

Today on Indigenous Peoples' Day, we're highlighting the work of Jeremy Dennis✨

Dennis' exhibition, "Future Return" brings together beadwork, woodcarving, photography, and Shinnecock written books to share Indigenous stories.

Dennis creates cinematic images and places of belonging that center BIPOC artists. Future Return brings together mediums of art where the creation is to continue their ancestors' tradition of storytelling and showcase the sanctity of their land.

There is exactly 1 month left to view Sean Capone's exhibition of video works!

BLACK NIIGHT WHIITE LIIGHT showcases from two of Capone's ongoing series, "Avatar Poetics" and "Global Illuminations." In these videos, Capone utilizes a conspicuous overabundance of digital graphics techniques and visual effects technology (including motion capture, 3D character animation and generative art software) to explore an absurdist and hallucinatory social media landscape — a landscape illuminated by pseudo-neon glows and scrolling media feeds, and populated by logorrheic talking heads, A.I. oracles and cyberpunk poet philosophers.

While experiencing BLACK NIIGHT WHIITE LIIGHT, don't forget to peep your head behind the exhibition's centerpiece🤭

Holy Mountain by Sean Capone presents an altogether different kind of virtual body: one that is gendered, homo-erotic, and self-pleasuring; but headless mute, and seemingly alienated.

**Exhibiting Artwork Spotlight**

A production still of Global Illuminations by Sean Capone
This work utilizes digital animation to simulate the motifs of stained-glass windows, nightclub visuals and advertising signage to create poetic transmissions of spiritual, devotional, and erotic energy across luminescent architectural surfaces as a kind of futuristic 'altarpiece' or urban interior backdrop.

Visit HUB Gallery any day 10 A.M. - 6 P.M. to experience the full animation! 🌈

Did you know that clay 3D printing was possible? Penn State Associate Professor of Studio Art/Ceramics/Digital Design Tom Lauerman designed, built, and iterated his own custom clay printer.

The clay Lauerman uses is just clay, the same as potters and sculptors have used for millennia - nothing needs to be added or changed to facilitate printing!

Join us on August 31st to celebrate the artists and Over & Over Again in HUB Gallery 5:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.!✨

Hydro Turbine Generator Blade (as-printed state), Hydro Turbine Generator Blade (fully machined to final dimensions) by Center for Innovative Materials Processing through Direct Digital Deposition (CIMP-3D)

The two blades are hydro turbine generator blades for the Department of Energy (DOE). The Inlet Guide Vane (IGV) was printed on CIMP 3D's HPHD (High Power High Deposition) Directed Energy Deposition (DED) Additive Manufacturing system. Printing of the IGV took 50 hours of total additive deposition over hundreds of layers!

The first documented iterations of 3D printing trace back to the early 1980s, but the first practice of building through placing line on top of line is found in ceramic's coil building technique as early as 6000 BC. Through new digital technologies, artists and manufacturers can model objects in software programs.

Over & Over Again brings together 3D printed works by Penn State faculty. The works on view highlight their commitment to working in innovative technologies, encountering new possibilities, and reimagining objects.

We are proud to recognize our Student Employee of the Year Sureaya Inusah!

Sureaya always feels so strongly about the artwork. She has a great positive energy and is always fun to work with during install and de-install. She always says she feels sad taking down the work because she resonates with it but is quickly excited to put up new work. She is so fun to work with and is incredibly kind. Her passion for the galleries really shines through in everything she does.

**Exhibiting Artwork Spotlight**

Recollection (finger top's sigh) is the title of Stacy Isenbarger's assemblage. Isenbarger also takes materials from a living room to create an enigmatic object. Her emphasis on texture is curiously bodily, as the soft skin of the branch protrudes from the supple folds of the cushion.

This piece is currently on view in Art Alley in Scatter Terrain through July 17th.
