Cutting edge and highly creative, Collectively Independent showcases the precision, skill and imagination of University of Lethbridge new media students.

Opening Nov. 25 at 6 p.m. in the U of L Penny Building, Collectively Independent is an exhibition of student works spanning the breadth of media studied, including film, print, web design, 2D and 3D animation.

"The digital artists, all senior new media majors, have built a high degree of interactivity into their pieces, affording guests the opportunity to interact with the art," says Jeff Bingley, fourth-year new media major.

Bingley explains that although the works are credited to individual artists, their final creation was ultimately a product of teamwork.

"Collectively Independent was chosen as the title of the exhibition, indicating the close collaboration involved in the independent production of digital works involving students in four new media classes," he says.

Collectively Independent runs Nov. 25 to Dec. 6. For a schedule of exhibit times, visit collectivelyindependent.org.
