Exhibition Series
"AMODA defines digital art as art that uses digital technology in any of three ways: as the product, as the process, or as the subject." -- About Digital Art

The Exhibition Series should ultimately challenge what "we" and the public perceive as art, that which is digital art. We have an opportunity to set our organization apart from the ivory halls of traditional museums by fully embracing the mission statement of AMODA: "To engage the public, educate the community and support artists in the creation, understanding and appreciation of digital art." The Exhibition Series will set out to do just that. Our job is not to legitimize digital art, artists or expression (time will do that for us) but rather to educate the public, open a dialog and to distinguish digital art from art movements of the past through its product, process, tools and subject matter through exhibition.
By way of definition, I would like to think by merely choosing a pin number for your ATM card would be considered a digital expression. Exhibition Series plans to educate the public by addressing some of these questions through exhibition. What is digital art? Who, How and Where is it being created? Who and What is a digital artist? What are its effects and who is affected by it? Ultimately the answers not only give rise to public insight into technology and into a new art movement, digital art, I believe it takes one step further by showing how these same questions and the same set of criteria can be applied to: family, religion, sexuality, government, the state.....what else you got?
