Find out at BRiC “Intersection Between Art and Tech” Event May 21

BOCA RATON, Fla. – Join distinguished artist Carol Prusa at the Boca Raton Innovation Campus (BRiC) on May 21 to learn how the evolution of technology in      art –from the pencil to the 3D printer – is freeing artists’ creativity.

The program, “The Intersection Between Art and Tech,” from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the BRiC Conference Center, 5000 T-Rex Avenue, is open to the public. Sponsored by BRiC, the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County, the Boca Raton Museum of Art and Art Hive Magazine, it’s the first public event created by the BRiC Programming Board, a group of business and community leaders focused on developing unique programming to spotlight innovation for the community and BRiC tenants.

Tickets for the May 21 event are $10 and available at workatbric.com/events. Cocktails and light bites will be served.

Award-winning contemporary artist Carol Prusa has a major solo exhibit coming to the Boca Raton Museum of Art in August. She is a professor of art at Florida Atlantic University, where she has taught for 19 years. At the BRiC event, she will explain how pre-industrial craft methods have evolved into laser etching, laser cutting and working with 3D printers and fiberglass.

Prusa, whose earliest artworks were in pencil, now incorporates fiber optics, video, laser etchings and other technologies to explore concepts of symmetry, infinity, the void and complexity of the universe in her curved, three-dimensional works.

As The Art Economist Magazine describes her work, “Carol Prusa creates a new vision of the powers of the universe in each artwork she makes. Inspired by cosmology and the natural sciences, Prusa creatively explores these practices, arriving at stunning re-interpretations of their theories.”
