Moving Targets Initiative

Moving Targets builds on the museum's long history of exploring the role of new media in the arts. It expands into new territory through presentation of new media and new systems for information delivery to the ASU Art Museum's audiences. The museum presented its first media exhibition in 1993, Nam June Paik: Time for Change and represented the U.S. at the 1995 Venice Biennale, Italy art exhibition with the work of five installations by Bill Viola. We support emerging artists and critically acclaimed practitioners of new genres through solo exhibitions, including William Kentridge, Shirin Neshat, Jim Campbell, Pipilotti Rist, Gary Hill and Francesco Torres. In 1997, the museum developed an annual short film and video festival, which continues to present the work of international artists. As technology penetrates all aspects of art, the museum strives to present the most innovative and engaging works.
