Topic: Set in Motion Film Night: Under the Surface

Set in Motion is a series of one night screenings featuring contemporary video art and experimental short films hosted by Purdue University’s Fountain Gallery in Lafayette, IN.  Through multiple screenings, we will explore how motion, time, repetition and narrative can change the way we see art.  With video capabilities becoming part of our everyday, we encourage artists to challenge the medium - and question our reality.
