This week the UB Art Gallery offers a glimpse at what goes on in the lecture halls of the university’s Media Study Department when it presents NET<3, a two-day exhibition of new work by nine students who explore sociable technologies. The exhibit includes two installations: Tribot, a prototype robotic partner for people by Nicholas Stedman and Assistive Technology, the design for a chair that helps a person in and out of the bathtub. On Monday (April 10) Loren Sonnenberg will perform Rawing the News, a metaphorical illustration and lecture on the process of online news production. On Tuesday (April 11) David Hohusen presents a workshop on creating comic images using gaming systems; Jonathan Burow, Tom Peters and Parker English present Socially Networked Video, a choose-your-own-adventure piece using a web-based tool that allows the artists to compose and distribute live, streaming video of the audience; Brian Diesel presents The Enveloop, a discussion on mediated social environments; and Al Larsen presents Warm Not Cold (pictured), a performance comprising music, spoken word and video .

Monday, April 10 from 5-9pm & Tuesday, April 11 from 11am-9pm. UB Art Gallery, UB Center for the Arts, North Campus.
