I’m in the world and so are you

I’m in the world and so are you is an exhibition collaboratively conceived and produced by student artists enrolled in the “Collective Art Practice” course, led by guest lecturer and 2024–25 St. Elmo Fellow Pablo Tut.

Throughout the fall semester, these artists have discussed how their social settings, political influences, unique cultural backgrounds, and engagements with an overwhelming digital mediascape inform their art practices and reflect their personal and community interests. I’m in the world and so are you explores the effects of digital mass media through disparate material forms and extends the students' conversations to the UT and Greater Austin Communities.

The included artists ask visitors to reflect on the question guiding their discussions: How might artists move beyond digital media’s dehumanizing, desensitizing, and flattening tendencies to imagine alternate digital relationships to local and global issues?

This exhibition is part of the Fieldwork Project series, dynamic collaborations between faculty and students in the Department of Art and Art History that take on various forms and enable the ideas and processes developed in the classroom to be brought into the public sphere.

I’m in the world and so are you is organized by Pablo Tut, 2024–25 St. Elmo Fellow.
