The exhibit will include work from the following disciplines: fine art, graphic design, illustration, photography and video. The exhibition will run from from Sept. 20 - Oct. 20, 2004.

The purpose behind the exhibit "DPI," which stands for digitally propelled ideas is to provide a venue and bring together artists who have been actively involved in using computer technology to create works of art. The DPI exhibit has two components. The first component is juried with an Open Call for Entries. The second is Invitational, based on the recommendations of Professor Elliot Earls. The two-part displayed simultaneously for an exciting juxtaposition of technical and conceptual development. This exhibit, conceived and sponsored by the Art Department at Cal Poly Pomona, has been hosted by the Kellogg Gallery since 1994.

The juror is Carole Ann Klonarides, an international curator of contemporary art, an artist and independent producer of experimental documentaries on the arts. She was curator of Programming at the Santa Monica Museum of Art from 1997 to 2000.
