3rd Annual FUSE Exhibit Features Students Work at Museum

Interactive Media students from Bradley University’s Slane College of Communications and Fine Arts will headline a one-day only exhibition at the Peoria Riverfront Museum. This is the third annual FUSE show. It is a hands-on, interactive show that fuses art and technology, serving as a bridge between media and the community.

This interactive exhibit of work was created by students and faculty and is designed for people of all ages. FUSE brings the best of Bradley’s Interactive Media Department to life in a show designed to allow the public to engage with artists and developers using modern day hardware, ripe for innovation and fresh applications.

FUSE is a collective representation of each student’s creative interests, designs, and talents, featuring collaboration among the department’s three majors: Game Design, Animation, and User Interaction/User Experience. Some of this year’s include:

-A custom designed Compendium Reel featuring recent work from award-winning Interactive Media students. See this ongoing, high-resolution video in the Giant Screen Theater.

-Experience the Green Screen firsthand: see yourself placed in a virtual environment. Take center-stage, and allow your imagination to run rampant as you go wherever your mind can take you!

-Enjoy five unique games and experiences developed, designed, programmed, and engineered by the department's Catapult Groups. They have created original concepts that offer unique experiences to provide a focal point between technology, media, and the user. FUSE invites you to play, watch, and interact with not only these five Catapult Projects, but with the student body who made them!

-Meet and greet the artists and developers. They will be on hand to display the work they have created and talk to you about their inspiration and process.

The FUSE show is Saturday, April 30th from 10am to 5pm at the Peoria Riverfront Museum. OneFire Media is sponsoring the day making this a free Museum day where FUSE and all exhibits and planetarium shows will be free and open to the public.
