Whether constructing a massive decomposing stalactite from iron and fiberglass, recording a pirated copy of Avatar onto a virtual rotating sphere, or painting vibrant portals leading to the past's sexy future, the visual artists of UCSD's highly praised MFA program have practices spanning a wide range of disciplines that evoke a dialogue of remarkable currency. The artists' works range from technological investigations and information visualizations to social interventions and material practices, all the while questioning and creating relationships with art history, critical theory, visual studies, art activism, and public culture.
