Biohydrology: A DPI Students 3D Exhibition

Saturday May 7 @ 2-3:30PM

Tisch School of the Arts
721 Broadway, Room 804

Exhibition Statement

Biohydrology is a student-organized screening program exhibiting the final 3D moving image projects from Emerging Media Studio - Fluid Environments (Spring 2022), a studio class taught by Prof. Snow Yunxue Fu, focusing on the creation of 3D dynamic fluids and environment simulations in NYU Tisch School of the Arts Department of Photography and Imaging.
Like the show title, the artworks in the exhibition explore the possibility of the unification between organic and inorganic compounds, in which the form of intellectual creatures is no longer limited by the human form but by the conscious bodies of bionic hydrology. Carbon-based creatures like us were born in supernovas billions of years ago, sharing the same particles with water, rock, stars, and each other. In creating simulated fluids, students take varied approaches, with some abstracting the fluid as pieces of environmental contemplation, while others have rendered fluids as hyper-realistic set pieces.
The screening explores the power of the liquid as a visual symbol, one that is limitless in flexibility and enduring. Here, artists have interpreted fluids as both forces of destruction as well as conduits of regeneration, reconsidering their emotional resonance. The works exhibited in Biohydrology dynamically flow through diverse and varied themes, such as climate change, isolation, identity, growth, loss, fear, and artificial intelligence, unified by the alluring passage of time and the ever-flowing inspiration of the amorphous liquid form.
