The Electronic Art Gallery’s mission is twofold. Firstly, the gallery is a venue for professional and student artists to showcase their work. The gallery will focus on artworks that explore the wide-ranging mediums and concepts found under the umbrella term of “digital art.” Secondly, the gallery’s offerings are intended to demonstrate a dedication to the cultural enrichment of Colorado State University’s students and the local Fort Collins community.
The Electronic Art gallery encourages experimentation through the presentation of works in a wide variety of formats. This can include but is not limited to exhibitions, performance, outreach, and related educational programming.

“Are You Connect?” – Karl Erickson
Artist Talk and Exhibition Opening Thursday, November 7th @ 6pm
Exhibition is on view November 7th, 2019 through January 16th, 2020 and is open Monday through Friday from 9am-5pm.
The gallery is located in room H112 in the Visual Arts Building @ Colorado State University”I make videos, performances and collages centering on abstract narrative themes of transformative experiences, self-betterment and environmentalism. I am interested in how belief systems are built, and how those systems lead people to take certain approaches through the world. A current series of videos I am making is about aliens and UFO cults. The concept of extraterrestrials and of “the alien” posits what it means to be something else. My videos present these modes of otherness as starting point, putting the viewer into the position of witness to this connected alienation. I use techniques of motion graphics and the aesthetics of abstract painting to make my videos hypnotic and engaging to viewers on a sensory level. My videos and collages are built from a variety of sources, are highly saturated, heavily textured, and purposefully distressed. The combination of sources and the hand-made quality reinforce that the works are constructed, manipulated images. The apparentness of the facture of the works is analogous to the way world-views are constructed, piece by piece from disparate references. Through this repetition of bricolage, I trace how individual and societal identities are constructed and how they can be moved forward to an advanced way of being.”

Siew Wai Kok –
RESCHEDULED DUE TO SNOW : Lecture on Wednesday, April 10th
THURSDAY APRIL 11, VISUAL ARTS BUILDING F101 5:00 pm
Screening of Siew Wai Kok’s work KLEX in Denver at Alamo Drafthouse in the 12th, time TBD
Siew‐Wai Kok has a deep passion for the avant-garde, improvisational and experimental arts. She feels that it is important to embrace the variety of unique expressions in the arts, especially not to discriminate works that are lesser known or that challenge conventional codes and expectations. After moving back to Malaysia in 2005 and realizing the lack of alternative voices in the local art scene, Siew-Wai has decided to devote her time and energy mainly as an artist-organizer. She set up SiCKL (Studio in Cheras Kuala Lumpur), an alternative artist collective with her peers, and organized many DIY video screenings and music events since then. She was the co-festival director of Sama-sama Guesthouse Mini Alternative Art Festival 2010, a no-budget art festival; and co-curator of the music programme in Notthatbalai Art Festival 2007. Siew-Wai’s most committed role is as the co-founder, co-curator and festival director of the Kuala Lumpur Experimental Film, Video & Music Festival (KLEX) since 2010. Through KLEX, she is actively connected with the international experimental art communities, and has shown her curated screening programmes in Belgium, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam and USA.
In addition to her curatorial work, Siew-wai has shown videos, performed and presented her works in Asia, Europe, Canada and USA, including Nimman Film Festival (Thailand), Singapore International Film Festival, Asian Meeting Festival 2015 (Japan), RRRec Fest (Indonesia), Asian Film & Video Art Forum (South Korea), Asian Experimental Video Festival in Hong Kong, Video Art Attack! (Belgium), International Film Festival Rotterdam, Les Rencontres Internationales (France), solo exhibition & performance in Beyond/In Western New York Biennial (USA) and many more. Siew-Wai is currently teaching at the Faculty of Creative Multimedia, Multimedia University, Malaysia.
