Fuller Craft Museum
Tim Tate's electronic "reliquaries" are featured in the Fuller Craft Museum show: "The New Materiality: Digital Dialogues at the Boundaries of Craft". Curated by Fo Wilson, Digital Dialogues steps beyond the boundaries that currently exist among technology, art and craft. The artists in this exhibition use new technologies in tandem with traditional craft materials - clay, glass, wood, metal and fiber - to forge new artistic directions. Digital video and audio, computerized design, and other technologies are viewed as new materials to be exploited, manipulated and co-opted to enrich artistic expression.
