SPRING/BREAK Art Show is an annual curatorial based art show. All artworks are displayed online, which adds a virtual component to the tactile exhibition. Each year there is a different unifying curatorial theme; In 2018, the theme was " A stranger comes to Town."
There is a diverse range of media showcased during SPRING/BREAK Art Show. Evan Yee's "The Museum From the Future" is structured as archeological ruins of today's technology. When I attended this show, i felt like I was stuck inside a giant iPhone. There were batteries and other objects coated in resin, sculptures of hands holding iPhones, and the giant spinning circle reminiscent of a computer loading symbol.

Jane LaFarge Hamil's "Rigidbody" was an amazing thing to experience. I entered a room with a giant impasto painting, and then the artist invited me to put on virtual reality glasses. Suddently, the painting in front of my began to fall apart into globs of paint moving throughout space. I was able to interact with the paint blobs; as the blobs were flying towards me, I had the ability to push them away.
