"Control + Alt + Delete": FIU Fall 2024 BFA Thesis 01 Exhibition

"Control + Alt + Delete" takes its name from the universal keystroke hat interrupts and restarts an operating system. Embracing the spirit of this halting action, Fall 2024 BFA Thesis 01 students engage in deliberate acts of disruption and recalibration to re-evaluate, reconfigure, and redefine their emerging practices. Through a diverse array of media, including painting, video installation, multiple forms of animation, sculpture, performance, and digital works, Control + Alt + Delete explores themes of reconfigured identities, grief and healing, the endurance and transformation of cultural rituals, the collective need for new mythologies and speculative worlds, and the rapidly changing contours of human cognition through technology. Across these works, the artists reconsider familiar systems and habitual modes of thinking and making to initiate a soft reboot of their practices. Control + Alt + Delete invites viewers to consider the ways in which these works collectively pause, reset, and reimagine.
