Innovating Public Art: An Exploration of
Digital Animation as Public Art
M.A. Media and Journalism Thesis Project
Public art can be a fascinating mix of cultural, social, and political commentary that has the power to impact a community, and community spaces, in multiple ways. Public art can establish a sense of connection and identity of an area among the community. So as technologies advance, how do our needs for creative expression evolve? This thesis will explore the historical and cultural contributions of contemporary public art, and examine how immersive digital art could be the next modernized innovation of public art installations in Raleigh, North Carolina. This non-traditional multimedia thesis, rooted in interactive and graphic design, with elements of videography and photography, will consider how neurographica art styles can be combined with digital animation as public art to aid in the nurturing of community mindfulness and inclusion.
