A second look can reveal what we missed, inviting new possibilities or transforming our understanding of an experience. That fluid core drives @fterthought
, an interactive digital art exhibition opening this November.
The Yang Family University Art Gallery, housed within the Landini Center for Fine and Performing Arts at 300 North 7th Street in Terre Haute, will host the exhibition from November 16 through December 11, 2026. A public reception is scheduled for November 19 from 4 to 6 p.m.
Exhibition hours run Monday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., with extended hours until 6 p.m. on Thursdays. All exhibitions and talks hosted at the gallery are entirely free and open to the public.
The showcase brings together works that have been revisited, reworked, and reconsidered by students enrolled in courses taught by Dominick Rivers, Assistant Professor of Digital Art. The curriculum spans Imaging & Digital Art, Introduction to Time-Based Media, and Video Art.
Visitors will encounter interactive video art, sound installations, a playful karaoke station, and other multimedia works designed to test the boundaries of a definitive artistic endpoint. Ideas shift and meanings evolve when a piece of art is treated as something that is never truly finished.
Organizers emphasize that the afterthought extends far beyond the physical boundaries of the work itself. It is the image that lingers, the sound that echoes, the idea that takes hold, or the feeling that stays long after an encounter ends.
The exhibition invites viewers to pause, look again, and consider what remains, what changes with time, and what new meanings emerge through reflection before the installation closes on December 11, 2026.
