“Signal to Code: 50 Years of Media Art in The Rose Goldsen Archive” was created by the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections (Cornell University Library) and was on view in the Hirshland Exhibition Gallery, at the Carl A. Kroch Library (Cornell University).
This exhibition explores 50 years of electronic and digital artwork and ephemera held in the Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art. The exhibition, on display in the Hirshland Gallery of the Carl A. Kroch Library from March 17 to Oct. 14, 2016, offers a unique opportunity to experience more than 60 original electronic and digital artworks in video, sound, portable media and the Internet, on 15 separate media display stations. The exhibition also features posters, pamphlets and other items documenting the work of international media artists and the granting agencies and cultural centers that have supported this work across artistic boundaries and geopolitical zones. “Signal to Code” provides a special emphasis on the influential histories of media art in Ithaca and the Central New York region, along with the Goldsen Archive’s extensive partnerships in Asia.
