</script> is a multi-platform art project facilitated through an ongoing conversation series, artist curated workshops, a publication and group exhibition. Curated and organized by Brittney Connelly, this collaborative effort brings together 5 artists working both regionally and nationally. </script> was realized in an effort to support makers engaging in critical thought revolving around contemporary issues of the digital experience. Conversations were held in an effort to open up a diverse set of perspectives on how empathy, language and social and economic hierarchies are interpreted through the modern female lens. In addition to the June exhibition, the <script> program hosted a variety of workshops that were curated by the participating artists. These workshops were free & open to the public.
Inspired by the open-source nature of the internet, the </script> project was facilitated through both physical and virtual means. The </script> web platform launched in November of 2019. Information be found at www.digitalexhibition.space.
