VUCA is a manifestation ~ the working of an art collective.
I am VUCA - the magical working of an art collective. I inspire the stones to bound and waters to bellow; humming the hymn of forms. I am the first, the only, and the forgotten. Say my name and together we will remember.
A community is only as healthy as its artists. Our combined efforts explore the nexus of technology and art, seeking new environments for artists to discover and advance.
VUCA couples each project with an essential nonprofit partner to help raise awareness and resources for our community.
