Technology, information and aesthetics are a ubiquitous part of our everyday lives.

Information can be transmitted in aesthetically innovative ways using visual, aural and interpretive methods, and artists are using new technologies to understand society and create new work. Also, researchers are using technologies to make new discoveries.

To acknowledge that technology touches and changes our lives in new and profound ways, the University of Arizona's School of Information: Science, Technology & Arts, or SISTA, is hosting its first art exhibit. 

The event, "Science, Technology & Art: A SISTA Exhibition," will be held Jan. 17 through Feb. 9 at the Union Gallery, located on the third floor of the Student Union Memorial Center, 1303 E. University Blvd.

The exhibition is free and open to the public with an opening reception scheduled Jan. 17 from 5-7 p.m.
