Join us for refreshments as we celebrate the opening of the exhibition Rayguns, Robots, Drones. Can any technology ever exist solely for good? Science fiction authors have imagined worlds in which technology becomes a threat. But is this more than the stuff of fiction? This BIG IDEA project considers the role of technology in our real lives as well as our fictional fantasies. Using robots, drones and rayguns as metaphors for technological advances, the project examines the complex nature of technology’s inherent promise and its potential danger.

Participating artists Michael Salter and Nate Galpin will be present and will speak about their work at 6pm.

Part of The Center’s BIG IDEA project Rayguns, Robots, Drones, Jan 13–Mar 2, 2017.
