2020 SUPERNOVA Festival
Curate excellent work from emerging 3D artists who are also former students of New York University and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
This is a curated program of 3D moving image artworks that reflect the current unsettling time which we are living in, relating also to the 2020 SUPERNOVA main theme “World on Fire”. The program features selected work by artists who were taught by Professor Snow Yunxue in both the Film Video and New Media Department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Department of Photography and Imaging at Tisch School of the Art New York University. Artists explore the theme of realities through the post-photographic lens of this infinitely capable medium by creating digital space alternatives, utilizing fluid simulation, bodily forms models, key-framed animation, and other 3D techniques. Drawing from theatrical, performative, cinematic, sculptural, and game practices, the works exhibited explore the strangeness and boundaries of reality.

SAIC MacLean 1307 Screening Room
Final mesh is an amalgamation of experimental moving image, computer graphics and atmospheric design. It is an exhibition that surveys reality through shifting perspectives, and algorithmic pleasures - all the while challenging narrative modes. The show examines the limitations of physical media, and ventures beyond into a realm of sensorial liberation - one that both embraces and overwhelms the participant. Each work goes beyond the digital imaging, generating space and media untethered by the confines of gallery walls. Mainly using software Maya and Realflow to emphasize the atmospheric scenes into the artworks. By understanding the nature of software, artists expand their art territories with achieving shape of aqueous element in their work. The screening features the School of Art Institute of Chicago students works from Fu’s Spring 2019 Atmospheric Animation course.

Final showcase of the student works from the course Game Space and Virtual Environment, TA-ed by Minshuo Tang. Students in this course are challenged not only to learn the basic technical skills of game design, using 3D animation/game software such as Maya, Unity, Blender, and Sculptris. Rather, they are asked to think critically about art making using these tools by exploring ideas of interactivity, storytelling, simulation, and social events.

School of Art and Artists' Residency
This unlikely alliance of restless college students is sinking fast into the moody and unstable world of Autodesk Maya. She's a manic-pixie-dream-software; hard to get, but worth the challenge. The art practice is air-conditioned, but darkness surrounds them as they struggle to function in the dense forests of Michigan. In the show Air Conditioned Art Practice, we see a glimpse of the life they might lead. Together or apart, in prints or in video, love and creation with a computer in the woods: it's complicated. Air Conditioned Art Practice is the final show of the Ox-bow, School of Art and Artists' Residency's 3D Animation, Virtual Environment class, taught by Snow Yunxue Fu and TA-ed by Nick Flaherty in Summer 2017. Exhibiting artists: John Kasarda, Alexander Exum, Ashley Gillanders, Nicholas Cordova, and Max Crider, David Carrillo, Elizabeth Loftus, Angie Gonzalez, Sara Roth, and Nathaniel Gillette.

Simulythos is a new media screening that focuses on experimental 3D animation techniques utilizing simulation software. Appropriating techniques usually used for special effects, advertisement, and mainstream cinema, our artists contextualize these processes to produce experimental media art. These artworks explore new mythos, narratives and themes explored through virtual worlds, and various forms of digital culture. Thus, Simulythos encompasses the uncanny while simulating dynamic environments. The screening features student work from Spring 2017’s Atmospheric Animation class taught by Snow Yunxue Fu and TA-ed by Benji Sayed, in the Film, Video, New Media, and Animation department at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

An Experimental 3D Animation Screening Event held at the Double Frame Gallery locates in the Mana Contemporary Chicago. The Artists in Oceanic_.bin use environment simulation software made for special effects in movies and advertisements, to create video work in terms of experimental cinema and contemporary media art. The goals of the artwork are to explore our relationship with the physical, and digital environments we inhabit. The software abstracts elements in nature to simulate them, creating a space between the virtual and visceral sensory experience.
