Parallel Circuits opens at Hillestad Gallery today
"Parallel Circuits," an exhibition that evolved from a graduate seminar course, Design Perspectives and Issues, will open Dec. 10 at UNL's Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery.
With an emphasis on the evolution of "Do It Yourself" movement and advancements in technology, students explored the DIY culture examining historical and contemporary texts, including how-to instructional magazines, online video tutorials and personal experimentation. Students learned how to create soft circuits, dissect electronic devices, and investigate new technology like muscle wire and conductive thread. Read more about this exhibition in Today@UNL.
