Arts and Design Research

The Commonwealth Cyber Initiative has funded several projects that connect the CCI network with Virginia’s arts and design research community.
The CCI Building Bridges Arts and Design Collaboration Program engages the community of researchers in arts and design to reimagine and depict the results of cybersecurity research either for scientific or creative arts purposes.
CCI has worked in partnership with the Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology at VT and the Da Vinci Center at VCU to create the program. Ben Knapp, founding director of ICAT, and Allison Schumacher, director of academic alchemy at the da Vinci Center, have been instrumental.
The projects were showcased at an exhibit at the Taubman Museum of Art in Roanoke, Va., in November 2022.
