Terrain: Art Party Extravaganza

            Imagine if you will a party, now imagine an art show, mix the two together and you have a vague idea of what Terrain 5 was like. Hosted in the Music Art Building in downtown Spokane, this event was a party to say the least. There was a live band, a full bar and plenty of conversation. Spokanites from all different age groups came to admire the artwork of the local artists and to have a good time. I also attended this event and was astonished by the diversity of art pieces it contained. One particular piece of art really caught my attention. It was a metallic humanoid statue with large ivory-like horns attached to its head. The entire statue was covered with sharp metallic wire and had one eye closed. It was poised in a defiant relaxed pose and had an almost sinister feel to it. I was drawn to this piece of work because of it uniqueness and it technological feel. For me it represented the sinister and powerful side of technology. I work with technology every day, so this particular piece of art was especially compelling. This piece of art was only one of the many excellent pieces of art on display, and I was glad I was able to enjoy all of them.
