///RANDALL TAGG : MIXED MEDIA, PHYSICS

Randall Tagg, an associate Professor at the University of Colorado at Denver, is a physicist who has established the Center for Learning through Applied Research and Innovation (CLARI) to explore the integration of three main functions of a university: teaching, research and service. One of his ongoing projects involves researching chaotic dynamical systems and fluid physics. His residency at McColl Center was scheduled in tandem with that of Paul DeMarinis to investigate the potential for interaction between artist and scientist. He feels that "Direct interaction with artists can be enormously stimulating as a creative atmosphere unfolds and a tension builds between priorities and points of view." Professor Tagg also served as an advisor for Turbulent Landscapes: The Natural Forces thatShape Our World, an exhibition of artworks representing complex systems in nature; organized by the Exploratorium and exhibited by McColl Center at Spirit Square. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
