Measure of Art Exhibit Ruler

This exhibit brings together research and creative works by students in
Art and Culture (IDS 102-02)
and
Science, Technology, and Human Values: Metrics and Measurement (IDS 103-03)

Come see what SUNY Poly students have created!

Did you know that both the metric system and the transformation of the Louvre palace into a museum open to the public have their origins in the French Revolution? Does this make you more or less inclined to measure in a certain way or appreciate certain artifacts as art? Come discuss these and other topics with us!

Each exhibit artefact is accompanied by a QR code that links to accessibility features using your mobile device, including audio descriptions of each work. These features are also available via standalone computer kiosks for those who prefer not to use mobile devices.
