Motherboard: Richardson's High-Tech Past, Present, and Future Honored in New UTD Art Installation March 11, 2020 Report The University of Texas at Dallas School of Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communication (ATEC) has created a 30-foot-long installation to highlight the past, present, and future of the City of Richardson as a hub for technology. Named MotherBoard, the installation is composed of steel, LED lighting, and projection elements. It was funded by the Eisemann Edge Endowment Fund, then created by ATEC faculty, students, and alumni at UTD. Once completed, the massive display demonstrates a celebration of Richardson’s history, accomplishments, and technological contributions. “We use the motherboard idea to address a number of tech topics such as the integrated circuit board, which has been important not only to the city of Richardson but also, in many ways, to UT Dallas,” Andrew Scott, an ATEC associate professor of arts and technology, said in a statement. The modular sculptural installation is part of a multiyear interactive arts experience funded by the Eisemann Edge Endowment Fund. To read the full article on Dallas Innovates' website, click here.
