Three years in the making with art from 300 creatives (110+ from Colorado), Convergence Station is a 4-story immersive art exhibition that is home to 70+ unique installations, rooms, and portals. Together, they tell an unforgettable, cathartic tale of converged worlds. Exploring the accumulation of memory and the loss of data, “Ruptured Time” is a multimedia installation encouraging awareness of the act of remembering. A combination between a brain and a vintage living room, “Ruptured Time” utilizes nostalgic materials and craft-based techniques to refer to the past, and glitched video collected from the Denver community to represent memory mutation through data loss experienced in the present.
