Digital Art Exhibition Opening

Opening Reception: 5-8PM | Process Gallery

On View: November 20 – March 6

Mimicry and Mirage explores the interplay between visibility and concealment, adaptation and deception, through the lens of extended reality. Drawing inspiration from camouflage in the natural world, the exhibition showcases digital artworks that challenge perceptions and invite viewers to question what is seen, hidden, or imagined. These works investigate the concept of camouflage not only as a biological phenomenon but as a metaphor for navigating identity, space, and algorithmic landscapes in an increasingly mediated world. Through a dynamic fusion of visual art and technology, this group exhibition invites viewers to uncover layered narratives of adaptation, transformation, and the art of blending in. The showcase reimagines XR’s ability to illuminate, or obscure, the boundaries of human perception.

The exhibition features work by Shawn Bailey, Dyllan Evans, Lyndsey Gillespie de Santana, Tea Held, Cerridwen Isa James, Zuzanna Kukawska, Jada McDaniel, Yonevea Sapcut, and Ze Treasure Troll curated by Lecturer and Digital Art Area Head Megan Young.

The project is supported by an XRI Faculty Fellows Grant from the Center for Teaching and Learning and University Information Technology Services (UITS), Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture + Design, and the Bloomington Arts & Humanities Council.
