BYTE GALLERY


BYTE GALLERY INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITIONS feature works that are judged and selected by Transylvania University faculty for inclusion in the BYTE Gallery. Professional artists, composers, and dramatists from around the world enter this competition. These exhibits give Transylvania students an exclusive front row seat at the leading edge of international digital art and music scenes.

This inaugural exhibition presents twenty-seven works submitted by professional composers and artists from across the globe, including the United States, China, Greece, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Canada, Turkey, Colombia, and France. These 27 works were selected from a pool of over 120 entries.

Knock On The Sky by Russ McIntosh

The approach I take with my artwork is very distinct, if you look at the shadow shapes and highlights within the image, other objects will start to take focus. I take inspiration for my art from the surrealists. I'm particularly fascinated by the double images many artist's invoke in their artwork - how you can look at those pieces and always find something new hidden within them.

When I was a child, I often laid on my back and stared up at the clouds and would see shapes and images floating high above me. Often times, complete scenes would unfold in front of me. With a vivid imagination I try to present the same essence within my own artwork.



BYTE GALLERY is an interactive kiosk exhibiting digital art, music, and video works by artists, dramatists, musicians, and other multimedia artists from around the world, as well as works by Transylvania University students and faculty.

VISITORS navigate the gallery using a touch interface, experiencing works through a large display and headphones.
