Daniel Canogar’s “Pareidolia” Multimedia Artwork Unveiled at Chapman University
April 27, 2023
On April 13, the Phyllis and Ross Escalette Permanent Collection of Art in Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences unveiled its newest artwork installation, “Pareidolia,” by internationally renowned multimedia artist Daniel Canogar.
The artwork, which is displayed in the lobby of the Becket Building, was commissioned thanks to a grant from the National Endowment of the Arts and matching gifts from Escalette donors.
“Pareidolia” consists of four large display screens streaming an constantly-changing digital collage of colors, images and text. It’s not a video loop that continuously repeats, but a self-generating artwork that continuously updates and reinvents itself.
