STREAMING will launch in the gallery@calit2 in the Qualcomm Institute's Atkinson Hall on January 14 with the first of three events. The exhibit will be on display through March 13. 

The gallery@calit2 at UC San Diego’s Qualcomm Institute will launch its winter exhibit on January 14 with the first of three live events centered on culture, technology and the environment. 

As part of the new art exhibit called STREAMING, multiple artists will explore networked culture streams and their ecological and social costs, proposing alternative loops for channeling digital flows and materializing data impacts.

The exhibit features surveillance, selfies, sequences, substrates and subliminal messages, live and archived. The curators will be taking existing live streams and re-presenting them in a new platform format in the gallery@calit2.
