Join Experimental Art & Technology! 👾 Experime Join Experimental Art & Technology! 👾

Experimental Art & Technology at the University of New Mexico is an interdisciplinary experimental program within the Department of Art. Students are expected to make work that comments on, engages with, and expands our notions of what technology-based art can be through courses that explore high-tech immersive environments alongside consumer electronic hacking and simple analog circuit building. Studio production is coupled with critical inquiry into the relationship between art, technology, politics, society, and culture.

Faculty Friday, Clarence Cruz @khaa_yay leaving a Faculty Friday, Clarence Cruz @khaa_yay leaving a lasting Native pottery legacy ✨

After 26 years of sharing tradition, passion, and ancestral knowledge, Professor Clarence Cruz (Tewa, Ohkay Owingeh) is preparing for retirement.
His classes focused on traditional Native American pottery, have guided students from all backgrounds on how to gather natural materials, ask permission of the land, and create with intention and respect. 

 “This is the gift I was given; it is this gift that I must share. What you know cannot go with you when you are gone. You must share it, so it lives on.” 

Pottery is not just about making objects; it’s about culture, community, and connection. Thank you, Clarence, for your years of dedication, your heart, and your teachings ♥
