Miss Communication

"Communication is supposed to be easy," Pansum Cheng, sculpture technologist, Fine Arts, said while watching people connect with his new site-specific sculptural installation, Miss Communication, outside of the Pomerantz Center. "It's the most direct way to interact with someone."
But this assemblage of 2,400 empty cans attached to two walls with a grid system and connected with fishing wire—at once simple and enigmatic—gives the viewer no instructions on how to use it. "That never even occurred to me," Cheng said. "Because communication is a very personal experience, allowing people to figure out what to do with it is in and of itself a form of communication."
Each can is attached to the one directly across from it on the opposite wall by the fishing wire, creating a familiar communication mechanism: a telephone device like the ones children make. "Before technology, communication is play," Cheng said. "It's childlike innocence.
Cheng also enjoys watching the juxtaposition of people using mobile phones near his installation, dealing with the distractions of city life, while others are trying to figure out the intricacies of the sculpture. "I see people play with it but also get frustrated with it."
But there is another way to look at Miss Communication, which came out of a proposal Cheng, who is from Mainland China, submitted to the FIT Diversity Council. It can be viewed as a means to examine the experience of being an outsider in an ever-changing subculture, which can be arduous when trying to identify both with peers and strangers. Through the various experiences that people have with the installation, the aim is to challenge them to explore different mindsets of a multicultural society.
"It was born out of the experience of people not being able to align with each other in a common experience," said Cheng. "Age, sex, background, and every experience can change the way you look at things. The project is a very simple idea, but every idea that's simple is never really that simple when you elaborate on it. I was looking for something everyone could relate to. I read a lot of philosophy, but I don't have big ideas for my art. I only have personal ideas that people can connect with."
The Diversity Council chose the project, in part, because it speaks to the issues of difference in culture and because it serves as a platform for communication.
The installation, which took nearly five months to install, will be on view through February.

For the capstone projects of the spring 2024 Fashion Design AAS program, students were tasked with creating garments using only denim fabric. As a result, the exhibition focuses on simple forms and techniques, encouraging innovation, creativity, and craftsmanship. Included are works selected for Critic Awards by industry mentors who have worked alongside students throughout the semester.
Denim’s appeal is universal. From day to night, from workwear to runway, denim transcends gender, age, and class. Its durability has made it an essential part of our everyday life. Denim Divine is a tribute to this denim’s timeless appeal and enduring influence.

What is a home? How do we view the communities that shaped us into who we are today?
For Black History Month, students from the FIT Black Student Union present Love Thy Neighbor’Hood, an exhibition that illustrates the dynamics of home and what that means to each artist. From an outside perspective, many predominantly black neighborhoods are viewed as dangerous and scary places, where nothing good ever comes about. These artists are challenging that narrative through their art. The exhibit features works of varying mediums created by people of a wide-range of backgrounds across the diaspora.

The exhibition "The Human Experience" showcases featured artists' personal journeys as they navigate life. Our lives are uniquely built by our experiences, from beginning to end. As artists, we are often passionate about conveying those experiences to our viewers, whether they are filled with loss or accomplishment. The work displayed here is from different majors within the School of Art and Design at FIT, including guest artists and alumni. It is meticulously curated by undergraduate Photography students with the guidance of Professor Curtis Willocks. The exhibition is centered around one common question: What does it mean to be human?

Dr. Julie Mitnick, with over four decades in radiology specializing in mammography, founded Murray Hill Radiology in 1984 after completing internships at Lenox Hill Hospital and residency at NYU Medical Center. As a Clinical Associate Professor of Radiology, she published articles in prestigious journals like the American Journal of Roentgenology and Radiology, alongside her academic duties.
Despite her medical focus, she harbored a passion for photography, nurtured through interactions with talented photographers among her patients. It was during the COVID-19 pandemic, amidst the eerie quietude of New York City's empty streets, that she turned her lens to photographing windows. This unexpected exploration unveiled a newfound appreciation for vibrant colors against the city's somber backdrop, contrasting with the monochromatic world of medical imaging. She now shares her joy of photography with patients, friends, and family, inviting them to discover the beauty and vitality captured within her images. Through her photographic journey, she bridges the realms of art and medicine, enriching lives with her unique perspective and visual storytelling.
