Hear and Now

Hear and Now is a drive-thru parking garage art exhibition in the heart of UT Austin’s West Campus. The exhibition, curated by the Center Space Project, features physical works as well as light, video, and sound installations by seventeen students, faculty, and community artists. Hear and Now is a contactless experience where all attendees must stay in their cars at all times.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected a vast amount of people, and the artist community has been among the hardest hit. Hear and Now explores what it means to be a viewer forced to be physically separated from art. It seeks to restore elements of art viewing that have been lost because of the virtual shift, asking the viewer to be self-conscious of how one may feel deactivated or “muted” in our current circumstances.


Hear and Now is a physical manifestation of TEDxUTAustin’s 4th annual conference, Unmute.
