University of Southern Maine Art Gallery

Join exhibition artist Janna Ahrndt in conversation with fellow artist and collaborator Christine Bruening on memory's digital trail. Ahrndt and Bruening together consider how technology fosters recollections and encounters obstacles of its own design. Their discussion will consider the limitations faced by digital replicas in any attempt to recreate the embodied recollections of an heirloom, and how corporate influence overshadows contemporary personal archiving. The conversation will at once expose the silliness of digital life and offer hopeful opportunities for the amelioration of technologically-induced malaise.

The artist talk will last approximately one hour in the Crewe Center ArtsLab. This event is part of the University of Southern Maine ArtsFest programming. Join us for a full day of art, music, and creative public activities.

Park for free* in the University of Southern Maine Parking Garage (88 Bedford St., Portland, ME 04101) by selecting “Crewe Center Ribbon Cutting Day” when you start a parking session (in advance † or on October 3).
