Let's Get Digital
May 3 – July 8, 2012

Curated by Alexandra Nicholis Coon, executive director of the Massillon Museum, Let's Get Digital demonstrates the endless opportunities digital technology offers to the world of art. Whether it be the tool, product, or subject of their artwork, all artists in this exhibition were selected based on their innovative applications of digital technology. To the 15 artists represented in this show, digital technology serves as an avenue for exploring new ideas and relationships that are not possible with traditional media.

Artists include: Janet Ballweg, Bowling Green; Jerry Birchfield, Cleveland; John Branham, Massillon; Kimberly Burleigh, Cincinnati; Guy Michael Davis, Cincinnati; Nicholas Economos, Shaker Heights; Ronald Geibert, Beavercreek; Brian Harnetty, Columbus; Dan Hernandez, Toledo; Janice Lessman-Moss, Kent; Katie Parker, Cincinnati; Joshua Penrose, Columbus; Andrew Reach, Cleveland; Michele Waalkes, Canton; and Gina Washington, Cleveland.
