Students in the Digital Arts and New Media program prepare to showcase their work at the Museum of Art and History, creating a participatory event with fascinating, hands-on works of art.

UCSC’s Digital Arts and New Media exhibit “Permutations,” on display from Thursday to Sunday, explores the relationship between art and technology.

The Digital Arts Research Center (DARC) is the structure currently blocking the art studios’ ocean view. Set to open on April 29, the building’s debut will be the subject of much pomp and ceremony.

The UCSC theater arts and digital arts departments have been collaborating to present an experimental show highlighting the rise of digital media.

Along with its permanent rooftop sculpture exhibit and other modern art pieces, the Museum of Art and History (MAH) at the McPherson Center is currently offering a space for UC Santa Cruz students to display their work in an upcoming presentation by the Digital Arts and New Media Master of Fine Arts degree program.
