Earth Day Art Model

Telematic Festival
April 22, 2021

About the Festival

Earth Day Art Model is a global telematic event held on International Earth Day. The festival highlights current artistic perspectives that range from scientific observation to creative works of music and intermedia. This year's theme, World Through Windows, serves as a metaphor for the myriad of panes, both physical and imagined, through which our world is perceived, particularly in this time of the pandemic. Over 24 hours, the festival will stream performances and media by musicians, artists, writers, and presenters who will connect via the Internet though the Tavel Center at IUPUI, Indianapolis, on April 22, UTC.

Earth Day Art Model is sponsored and presented by Deck 10 Media and the Tavel Arts Technology Research Center at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI).
