- Mark Neumann, professor of creative media and film in the School of Communication, had his photographs selected for two international juried art exhibitions. Neumann’s work will be on exhibit at the Incubarte 7, Festival Internacional de Arte in Valencia, Spain, and the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art. Neumann’s photographs use prefabricated plastic figures set in natural wilderness and other existing landscapes to create a narrative scene on a micro scale that emerges through arrangement of the objects and photography.
