The Brakhage Center for Media Arts
The Brakhage Center serves as a forum to examine the moving image as an aesthetically and socially responsive art form, especially within a culture that has become progressively more visual. Through symposia, conferences, screenings, panels, presentations, exhibitions, residencies, and other activities, the Center features the works of past, current, and future artistic innovators. These activities also provide a dynamic platform for discussion among artists, scholars, curators, and students.
