Metasurface hopefully provides a novel view of the warp and weft of contemporary visual culture, contemporary visuality, and issues pertaining to graphicacy. We would like to explore a host of issues - not just those pertaining to visual culture and communication - such as creative communities (the emphasis of my research), design culture, design education, art and design in rural America, teaching in higher education and host of corollary topics.

Ron Mueck Installation - "Untitled (Big Man)"
Originally uploaded by The Modern.
If you aren't familiar with Ron Mueck's work you should Google his name or click on the image to see the installation of some of his better known, more recent pieces. Mueck, an Australian artist who worked as an effects artists for tv and film, has created very hyperreal human forms that are out of scale (either very large or very small). The are amazingly well-crafted, so much so, that when assembled they give you pause.
