UNM's Social Media Workshop Lights Up Downtown

Spencer Beckwith On The Arts

Through December, and after sunset, the public can visit five locations in downtown Albuquerque where local artists have created light-based artworks. These temporary installations are sponsored by the City of Albuquerque's City Bright program. One of them, entitled The Game of Life and located at 114 Gold SW, was designed and built by the University of New Mexico's Social Media Workshop. This team of undergrad and grad students from a variety of departments is led by Andrea Polli, UNM professor of both Art and Engineering, and she joined us to talk about the Workshop's new installation.
