In the past several decades, artists have moved away from the static object and permanence of physicality using various time based mediums and short-lived ephemeral methods of making.  Artists have utilized video, audio, kinetic sculptures, performances, happenings, sand drawings, water drawings, and natural materials to create a fleeting moment of experience. In this session we will discuss what it means to abandon the object for the beauty of the ephemeral.
