How does a kinetic, sound-producing sculpture powered by a battery made of mud, water and bacteria help us understand perception? What can drawings reveal about the intersections of technological advancement and the natural world? Can an iconic animated cartoon teach us anything about conservation? The Jule's newest exhibition, "Showcase: Faculty Exhibition 8," features works of creative scholarship from a range of fields across the Auburn University campus, answering these questions and more. Celebrating the innovative spirit of faculty working in film, painting, photography, new media, sculpture and textile arts, "Showcase: Faculty Exhibition 8" reveals how art - like science - asks questions and seeks understanding of the complex world around us.
