Les LeVeque's installation Is It Love: We Miss You.

Technology is one of the most significant forces in our culture. It is not only the practical application of science and engineering, it is also a model that shapes our thinking about change and progress, knowledge and information, design and aesthetics, and even the way that we visualize the human body and life processes.The exhibition technology culture, on display at the Erie Art Museum gallery from December 31, 1996 through March 9, 1997 features technological works such as electronic or computer pieces as well as other artworks that draw from the imagery of technology. For more information, call the Museum at 814-459-5477.

Exploring the ways in which electronic technologies have permeated our lives, the artists in this exhibition both utilize and comment upon current technology. Five individual artists, a two-artist collaboration, and a multi-artist collaborative team exhibit 65 works ranging from paintings and photographs which explore techno/social issues to elaborate installations which involve the viewer in experiences calculated to enhance our awareness and understanding of some of these same issues.

Guest curator for this exhibition is Robert Raczka, Associate Professor of Art and Gallery Director, Allegheny College, Meadville. Participating artists include Beverly Fishman, Gloria DeFillips Brush, Simon Penny and Jamieson Schulte, Fred Lonidier, Tom Patton, Les LeVeque, and TODT.
