Lynn University NFT Exhibit 2024-2025 Exhibitions at Art on BRiC Walls

This year’s exhibition will feature several curated exhibits:

“Digitalism 2024” | Lynn University Faculty and Student Work juried exhibition judged by Leif Pedersen RenderMan Specialist and 3D Generalist at Pixar Studios.

“All Hands On Deck” | Skateboard Deck Competition comprised of Lynn students and faculty showcasing over 50 unique designs. The exhibit also includes students from local art high schools and Handy, a non-for-profit organization that provides life skills, education, and a supportive community for children and youth in foster or relative/non-relative care in Broward County. Judges include skateboarding legend Brandon Novak and professional skateboarder Fabiana Delfino.

“Screen Deep” | The Loop Art Critique-curated by: Ariel Baron Robbins. Loop Art Critique is run on the metaverse platform Onland, developed by the non-profit Art & Technology institution The MUD Foundation in Miami, FL.

Holocaust and Genocide Project | In 2023, Lynn University invited a survivor of the Holocaust, Laszlo Selly, to speak with students. Students participated in the GenZStory Expression Workshop, making creative projects that reflect on the survivor’s story through art, poetry, music, film, blogs, etc. These monitors display students’ creative projects and a video of Laszlo Selly, telling his story. The videos and projects have been minted as NFTs. This exhibit is generously supported by the Richard L & Lois S Werner Family Foundation. At the College of Communication and Design, we are changing the way people think of digital artwork. Before NFT technology, the viewers’ perception of the artwork was that they were not viewing an original, merely a digital copy. With the advent of NFT’s, it may be possible now to view an original in more than one location.

Art on BRiC Walls is the name encompassing all the walking art exhibitions throughout BRiC’s miles of corridors in support of Art in Public Places. The Lynn NFT gallery is part of BRiC’s long-term vision in an effort to integrate art and technology into the ecosystem of the campus.
