Creative Code Showcase at Gray Area
June 25-26, 2025The Creative Code Intensive is a foundational program for artists, designers, and technologists looking to expand their practice through media literacy, computational art, and experiential design.
Gray Area hosted 16 participants in the program to exhibit their work. Participants have created work spanning interactive installations, educational experiences, and audiovisual immersion. Collectively, their works examine themes of belonging, personal history, and cultural identity in a time where technology mediates social interaction and communication.
Ephemeral Portals is an experience that transports viewers through a range of fleeting natural landscapes – at once immersive and ever evolving. Each portal creates a new otherworldly dimension to explore across Northern California’s shifting ecological realms, blooming and dissolving in response to human presence. By evoking the transient nature of our connection to the earth, viewers are invited to reflect on the temporal relationship we hold with our natural surroundings.
