ArtX Art Exhibition: exponentiate
DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MIDNIGHT MONDAY 19 FEBRUARY
To what factor is your art exponentiated?
ArtX is a student club recently borne of a group of students with the purpose of cultivating and sustaining a community for those interested in bridging their interests in both the arts and the sciences, in an effort to bridge the ‘techie-fuzzie divide’ which currently defines Stanford’s student culture.
ArtX, by name, is constructed with reference to the mathematical notion that the exponent is more powerful than the base. In this case, ‘X’ can be any variable, for example, virtual reality, sound, light, structural engineering, artificial intelligence, or bioluminescence, to name a few. Intersectionality is the core constituent of our student organization and is thus represented by our exponentiation and intercrossing with the ‘X’.

This exhibition will reflect the innovation and the crazy knowledge-gathering and knowledge-making that drives this campus, and the analogies we co-opt when we dare think a stringent technology or field of knowledge as a radical new medium for expression. exponentiate is an exhibition set to congregate people who stay fiercely independent in their ideas and outlook to create their own artefacts that embody the ethical and philosophical ideas that arise in response to all the developments we're making at Stanford. While ArtX can easily be posited as an art and tech club in simplistic terms, it is about bringing together freethinkers and to catalyze them to get resources and a methodology to create stuff that is truly relevant and reflective of our time.

This call for submission aims to bring together the first cohort of artists who embody this artistically exponentiated drive in a space for the wider Stanford community.

Please note that either you, a collaborator, or a friend must be available to set up your piece on the evening of Thursday March 15 or Friday March 16 from 8:30 to 11:30am to install your piece completely, and from 8pm to 9pm take away and pack up completely as ArtX has no facilities to store work.
