Tim Guthrie, MFA, professor of graphic design in the Department of Journalism, Media and Computing, will present his project, “The Museum of Alternative History,” on a panel at the &NOW Conference in Seattle the week of Sept. 19.
The Museum of Alternative History addresses fake, revised, and twisted versions of history, and serves as a response to how biased opinions can replace measurement, verifiable experimentation, and hypotheses. It addresses the way personal beliefs can be forced onto others through culture.
The panel will be composed of the curator, the lead author, and one of the artists (Guthrie), for a presentation and discussion, focused on the hybrid of the artist’s intent and the experience of the audience.
