SIMTV 7 Silent Showcase - pocket edition

For months the students of the Studio for Interrelated Media, at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, have powered through remote-learning and online collaboration to put on a show that embodies the experimental, concept-driven, and multimedia backbone of our program. Given the trials and tribulations we’ve faced throughout the pandemic, the yearning for physical experiences has become more heightened than ever. This showcase is a bridge between the digital world we’ve been limited to and the interactive one we all know so well. The artists of SIM faced the challenges of this time with out-of-the-box thinking that produced a collection of thoughtful, vibrant, and energetic work that has brought this show to life. Though the concept of each project ranges greatly, the intrinsic bind between all the work is our shared experience of creating within isolation. This video compilation was first exhibited in an installation of several large monitors facing the street in "The Window Show" series at the Boston Cyberarts Gallery in Jamaica Plain, in the same building as the MBTA Green Street Station, during the spring of 2021. Collaborators include: Hope Antonellis, Jacob Cabral, A’knesha Davis-Darkwah, Anthony Fader, Erica Gaeta, Ren Hawley, Amber Hayes, Avery Miner, Ja’Hari Ortega, Sonnae Peterson, Adine Raboy, Max Ryan, Jane Stevens, Zhiquan Wang
