Celebrate the opening of Storytelling Through Photography: Inland Empire Students and the Pixel-Based Image World.

Last fall and winter, students from middle and high schools throughout the Inland Empire participated in photography and critical media literacy workshops inspired by Digital Capture: Southern California and the Pixel-Based Image World, a Getty-funded exhibition organized by UCR ARTS as part of the PST ART: Art & Science Collide initiative. Digital Capture investigated the history and creative uses of digital imaging technology, from the genesis of digital imaging in Southern California to the ubiquity of digital media in our contemporary world. For students who have grown up in this pixel-saturated world, the exhibition provided an opportunity not only to create digital media but also to critically reflect on its impact on their lives.
