CONVERGENCE A survey of Mark Amerika's practice-based research art projects was recently on exhibit at University of Hawai‘i Art Gallery as part of the inaugural edition of CONVERGENCE. The CONVERGENCE series encompasses and explores the impact of Internet art, digital, electronic, sound, and a wide range of new, traditional, and hybrid technologies on communication and art. This extended, interactive installation was titled Glitch.Click.Thunk and engaged visitors and students in hands-on exchanges between letter-press, litho-process, and state-of-the-art digital imaging via live audio/visual performance workshops within the galleries. The exhibition featured many remix artworks from Amerika's Museum of Glitch Aesthetics and his feature-length mobile phone film, Immobilité.

MAL The Media Archaeology Lab continues to run a highly successful artist residency series. Since September 2013, the MAL has hosted twelve artists both locally and virtually. Currently, MAL has four artist-in-residents who are taking advantage of the lab's incredible collection of over 1000 still functioning pieces of hardware, software, and old media.

SIGNULL This past fall, Counterpath Gallery in Denver hosted the opening for the exhibition, publication, and collaborative performance SIG_NULL. The exhibition featured new work from ten Graduate students affiliated with the TECHNE practice-based research lab whom experimented in forms such as dirty new media, found film, the #NewAesthetic, transmedia narrative, artist e-books, conceptual writing, and applied remixology. The limited edition print publication was created via a collaboratively authored and designed book sprint performed by all of the artists.
