Diant' Tarter has an installa
tion that includes paintings, a
statue and a shrine dedicated to
the issue of her hair All these
pieces relate to her thesis, which
addresses the issue of women
and their self-perceptions.
Her work centers around the
realization of how women’s self
perceptions are based on com
paring themselves to women in
themedia. Her work is a personal
expression of how the media has
affected her
"1 was using the imagery to
criticize itself.” Tarter said "A
lot of the material is from
women's magazines that define
the (beauty) standards I hope
that people will come away with
a little bit more awareness of the
images they see of beauty in the
media."
One of her most interesting
pieces is the shrine she created
which is called. “My Identity is
on the Outside of Mv Head In
stallation." She felt that being a
redhead with long locks dictated
her identity. Her long hair
stopped people from seeing past
that part, according to Tarter.
She has her actual hair hanging
from the ceiling, illuminated by
a cube. This cube "represents the

Bonnie Miti hell created her
installation by using a computer
as well .is other media to make
art
Mitchell started working on her
thesis about a year ago and pre
sents the viewer with something
unlike what most of them have
ever seen (adore She attempts to
make the viewer part of the art
She stales th.it the human inter
.11 lioni reateslheartexperieiu e
There are photographs of faces
on the wall with "fat es larger
than life looking on the viewer so
the person would feel this sense
of presence,” Mitchell said The
faces are covered with computer
created designs to act as a veil
between the face and the viewer
The second part of her installa
tion consists of computers that
have these same faces programed
on the screen Viewers can hear
the breathing of each of the sub
jects. knowing it wascopied from
humans but also created to have
a machme-like quality to it
The eyes of the faces open and
close with a machine-like qual
r
ily to give the feeling that there
are people inside the computer
However, they are also very me
chanical-like in their movements
This "reinforces the myth of the
intelligent machine." Mitchell
said
The museum is o|ien Wednes
