The Institute For Creativity, Arts, and Technology hosted its 12th annual ICAT Day at Virginia Tech’s Moss Arts Center last Monday. The event aimed to engage and connect the public with the latest creative and innovative works of students and faculty members.
More than two dozen different experiences and projects from transdisciplinary courses, projects affiliated with ICAT, and community projects were showcased. These projects covered a wide range of topics including artificial intelligence, immersive environments, neuroscience, sculpture, dance, music, and game design.
During the event, Virginia Tech graduate student Rebecca Steele demonstrated aerial circus hoop movements in the front courtyard of the Moss Arts Center. Ariel Circus is described as a fun, inclusive, low-impact activity that focuses on flexibility, movement, strength, and confidence. Steele shared that this activity was introduced to more than 40 students at Moss in February. Additionally, graduate student Norr Tasnim described a display titled the Epiphany Machine at the Moss Arts Center during ICAT Day. The event provided a platform for students and faculty to showcase their creative and innovative projects to a wider audience.
