Art on theMART’s Winter 2022 program will premiere Saturday, Nov. 19 at 8:30 p.m. with a new projection: Chicago Design Through the Decades, a collaboration of the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), Columbia College Chicago and the Chicago Design Archive (CDA). Chicago Design Through the Decades is a dynamic piece documenting the progression of design in Chicago over the last century. Following engaging characters and textual tidbits found in the Chicago Design Archive’s records (composed of over 3,200 examples of design work by over 1,100 designers), Chicago Design Through the Decades explores a wide variety of styles and methods, starting with the Art Deco illustrative techniques of the 1920s through contemporary digital renderings from the 2010s.  Ultimately, the journey ends in the 2020s with digital portraits produced using neural networks – a machine-learning approach that formed the foundation of much of modern artificial intelligence technologies – which is becoming increasingly prevalent in contemporary art. As audiences are transported through the decades, legendary personalities and world-changing social movements are highlighted with the popular design styles of each era.
