Media Technology: Past and Present featured in UNR exhibit
On display in the Whittemore Gallery of the Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center, University of Nevada, Reno is the exhibit Media Technology: Past and Present. Through this exhibit, visitors will enjoy a visual display of media technological leaps.
Mark Gandolfo, lead curator and Director of Digital Media Technology, stated "It is fascinating to view the analog to digital evolution in media production technology through these artifacts on display. Students are amazed at the size and amount of equipment needed for past high quality multimedia production."
The exhibit surrounds you with samples of the tools used to create TV, motion pictures, music and more. Pieces to admire range from a turn-of-the-century wax cylinder player, 1970s television studio equipment and a collection of well-preserved still photograph cameras ranging back to the 1940s. Visitors will also find several interactive elements, including a side-by-side comparison of antiquated versus contemporary video streaming.
Media Technology is presented by the Knowledge Center and was made possible through a grant from IGT and with the cooperation of Tim Stoffel, Tom Gordon, Imirage Sound Lab, KNPB and KOLO Channel 8. This exhibit will be on display through June 2016.
