The Institute of Creativity, Arts, and Technology at Virginia Tech has unveiled an art exhibit in celebration of the newest academic building on the Alexandria, VA campus.
“Carving Out Creativity”, is a multi-sensory experience that delves into the art of stone carving, how it effects our brain waves, and how art can connect others no matter how far away they are.
The installation was a collaboration of neuroscientists, engineers, and artists at Virginia Tech. Assistant Professor and Fellow at the Center for Health Behaviors Research, Dr. Julia Basso, has spent the last few years helping the team put together the scientific component of this exhibit.
The instillation, while limited time at the Cube in Moss Arts Center, will be up until May at the Virginia Tech Innovation Campus and the Torpedo Factory Arts Center in Alexandria, as well as The Taubman Museum of Art in Roanoke.
