'High-Tech Low-Tech' Exhibition Running Through Nov. 21 in the Fine Arts Gallery
'High-Tech Low-Tech', an exhibition of images produced with Western Washington University’s Scanning Electron Microscope and Holga toy cameras, is running through Nov. 21 in the main hallway of the Fine Arts Gallery Entrance Space on Western’s Campus. Garth Amundson’s Art 371 B&W Photography II class at ²ÝÁñÉçÇø’s Department of Art created diptychs comparing the two extremes of image making. Students incorporated various concepts combining the exploration of the microscopic world with a SEM (which magnifies up to 5000x) alongside medium format, low quality Holga cameras with Lo-fi aesthetic. The scale of the project ranges from a tenth of a hair to a massive landscape. In the spirit of breaking down barriers between departments, the project required students to utilize the Scientific Technical Services located in the Environmental Studies building.
Special thanks to Charles Wandler, Nathan Cranston, Robin Sizemore, and Cathleen Abramowicz for all their help and support.
