Authenticity [EXE]: Between Presence and Projection

June 21 - August 9, 2025

Sharon & Lance Beshore Gallery

While Behind the Mask deals with the various personas that people inhabit as they navigate through life, Authenticity [EXE]: Between Presence and Projection deals with how the digital world impacts identity. What the ramifications are of living in the virtual world instead of the real world. How “experience blockers” affect our mental health, especially children.

This exhibit is about digital identity, virtual spaces, and mental health; the key goal is to engage visitors and allow them to interact with the concepts in a fun way while prompting them to reflect on their own relationship with the digital world.
