STARBEAM FEVER DREAM, is a reel of video and performance work that was originally intended to be a live visual performance, video and animation event featuring students from Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Art, and The University of Pittsburgh Studio Arts programs. Due to a power outage in Pittsburgh, the live event was canceled and now lives on as a streaming video presentation.
This lusciously luminous, light-drenched, sensory overload was supported by HAVEN, 401 Atwood Street, Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Art, and The University of Pittsburgh Studio Arts Department. All works were made under the guidance of Scott Andrew in his Open Animation class at CMU + Digital Studio: Video class, and Direct Study mentorship at Pitt.
The Department of Studio Arts encourages rich experiences in visual arts and creative expression. We believe that curiosity and hands-on engagement in the making of art prepares all students with skills in problem solving, ideation, and the articulation of abstract concepts that enrich and contribute to the dialogue in visual art and other fields.
