位于萨克拉门托市中心的新黄金1中心拥有一个多媒体视频艺术的独家展览，由萨克州立大学教授雷切尔克拉克的艺术课学生为竞技场创作。
It’s just part of the public art contribution being made to the center by 囊状态 students, faculty, and alumni.

学生们整个夏天都在为萨克拉门托国王队的新主场中心制作动画艺术。 Twenty of their works were selected to rotate on the 25-foot-tall video screens flanking the arena’s six-story glass hangar door, creating a continuous movement of animated art.
这些屏幕主要是为了广告而安装的，但对威利斯来说，它成为了公共艺术的焦点，除了在SMAC工作之外，她还担任竞技场公共艺术项目的经理。 她找到了克拉克教授，后者教授新媒体艺术，2014年曾与SMAC合作过广受欢迎的百老汇增强虚拟艺术项目。
“The LED screen venue will be an ongoing site for future commissioned and borrowed artworks,” Willis says. “It’s a very large and very rare site, and I’m proud that we launched this program in partnership with 萨克拉门托州, Rachel Clarke, and her students.”
克拉克渴望接受新的挑战。 “Art on urban screens is an emerging area within public art, due to the proliferation of these screens,” Clarke says. “It’s a great way to reach audiences outside of an art gallery or museum.”
关于 60 students from Clarke’s classes took part in the project, submitting works that cover a wide range of styles and themes.
三年级学生Marinna Hill创作了萨克拉门托的解释性代表。 动画一开始是一片贫瘠的土地，慢慢地被树叶覆盖，最终变成了一个向上伸展的身影。
希尔是萨克拉门托本地人，她的作品基于她对这座城市不断变化的理解。 “I have gone through the belief that 萨克拉门托 is just a barren, boring place to live,” Hill says. “Having gotten older, I have realized what a great city it is, and how much it has grown and continues to grow.”
克拉克自己创作了一幅作品，从在光轮大坝拍摄的图像开始。 “It’s a visual exploration of water as the source of life – something we’ve become very aware of in these drought-ridden times,” she says.
Her colleague in New Media Art, instructor Mikko Lautamo, also has a piece in the exhibit, a generative animation called “Divide.” “ ‘Divide’ is about polarizing points of view and how decisions are made in a community,” Lautamo says.
A special panel selected 20 of the works, which were then confirmed by the city’s art commission.
“These students delivered very strong work under Rachel’s direction,” Willis says. “It illustrates the caliber of artists enrolled in the University’s art programs.”
这个新展览加入了许多其他与Sac国家有关的艺术项目在黄金中心。
其中包括萨克州立大学校友布莱恩·巴伦苏埃拉的大型作品。 （请看我们之前的报道。） His “Multitudes Converge” is a large suspended glass sculpture that presents an abstract interpretation of the confluence of the 萨克拉门托 and American rivers.
大约400个手工吹制的玻璃球混合在一起，形成了50英尺长的层叠效果。
And three artists from the Royal Chicano Air Force (RCAF) artists collective are working on “Flight,” a large-scale piece that eventually will cover a 35-foot-high wall at the arena’s east entrance on K Street. Juanishi Orosco， Stan Padilla和Esteban Villa的作品旨在激发对飞行的解释，无论观众的角度如何。
RCAF是由萨克州立大学的学生在40年前创立的，一直在创作公共艺术作品。
克拉克和她的学生非常感谢有机会在这个论坛上展示他们的作品。
“The project has been a unique class assignment that gave us the opportunity to talk about new-media art in a public context,” Clarke says. “It’s definitely an honor to be part of this historical project.”
“It means a lot to be involved in a project of this scope,” Hill says. “To give the rest of 萨克拉门托 a glimpse of what this city means to me is an amazing opportunity that I will never forget.”
