Movement shapes how we understand the world. Art in Transit brings together artists, designers, and researchers working across art, technology, science, and environmental inquiry to explore the ways materials, energy, information, and people move across physical and cultural landscapes.

Through work examining responsive materials, ecological systems, technological innovation, and human experience, the exhibition considers movement as a catalyst for transformation and exchange.

Join us on September 9 from 4–6PM for a panel conversation with participating artists and researchers. The discussion will expand on the ideas behind the exhibitions at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and the Korea Foundation Gallery in Seoul, South Korea to consider how creative and technological practices can shape more connected and sustainable futures.
