Exhibition, Screening, or Performance
Smith Warehouse Student Art Gallery
The Art of a Scientist began in 2018 with the goal of bringing local Durham artists and scientists together in shared exploration of creativity and visual communication. Returning from the pandemic, this year’s exhibit is themed “Renewal.” “Renewal, like spring after a long winter, is the return to something after a disruption, a crucial process in life whether watching trees bud bright green in the sunshine or animals return from migration, or even humans and how we find a return to “normal” after something has shaken our world”

Projects & Field Work
Primary Theme: Information, Society & Culture
Building Duke is a new three-year initiative that will be implemented in three phases: data collection and organizing (first year); data analysis and interpretation (second year); data output (third year). It will explore the conception, design and construction of the Duke University campus as well as its changes and expansions. Principal aims are to offer an historical narrative of the physical environment that the Duke community inhabits and to explore the desires and visions that have materialized in the making of the campus. This project is especially relevant at a cultural and political moment when physical space and its historical connotations are at the center of a heated public debate. The three-year initiative will culminate in a relational database of textual and visual archival material on the architectural history of Duke campus; an interactive digital 3D model of campus developments since the 1920s; a series of multimedia thematic narratives on history of the campus; and a series of augmented reality tours.
