"Body-ody-oddy" Opening Reception Image
No full textThis digital image was photographed by Helen Files and uploaded to DLynx by the Visual Resources Center in December, 2018.This is an image of the opening reception for the Body-ody-oddy exhibition held in the Clough Hanson Gallery on October 26, 2018. The exhibition consisted of artists exploring the body at, against, and beyond its boundaries, creating hybrids, amalgams, and excesses that illuminate the ways that politics and pleasures are made flesh. It featured work by Katie Torn, Alex Paulus, Melissa Wilkinson, and Moth Moth Moth and the Haus of Phantosea.
Alex Paulus commented on his work, stating "My paintings are a representation of how ridiculous I think life can be...I also like to include humor in the work. If my art can make people laugh and feel good, I’ve succeeded. The paintings are usually very bright and bold in color, and the subject matter can be a little bizarre. The use of brightly colored paint seems to curb some the strange imagery and make it more palatable to the viewer."
Melissa Wilkinson commented as well, saying "These series of paintings focus on my interest in dichotomies: obscuring and revealing, attraction and repulsion, good and evil, the past and the present. I appropriate imagery from a variety of sources in order to develop a pastiche that fractures the conventional male gaze and positions art historical models as both subject and spectacle. I choose to dismantle epic narratives from the past to create a schizophrenic perspective. The images break from their original sources into fragments, creating a complex visual experience that both irritates and seduces. It is through this body of work that I seek to challenge the hetero-normative male gaze and reinvent a fluid view that fluctuates between unconventional representations of the erotic body.

Virtual Reality Escape Room
No full textPresentation by Henry Kemp ('19), Mackenzie Busby ('18), Benjamin Wade ('18), and Andrew Craig ('18) delivered at the Rhodes College Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity Symposium (URCAS).Escape rooms are a growing market in today's world of entertainment. Starting as online computer games back in the 2000s, they have grown in popularity in recent years into massive real life experiences, including anywhere from one to several hundred participants. As technological advances are made, the market for escape games in virtual reality has also seen an increase, as the number of games available for purchase has increased dramatically over the past couple years alone; however, it is still nowhere near the level of popularity as it has reached in society as a real life experience, partly due to the lack of accessibility of virtual reality systems. For part of our senior seminar, we have produced an escape room game in virtual reality that aims to test users' senses of presence and spatial awareness. We believe that with the growing market and expanding accessibility to virtual reality machines, our virtual reality escape room game will provide users with an interesting, unique experience and act as a source of competition for other games available for VR machines currently
