IMMERSIVE ART EXHIBIT EXPLORES THE LANDSCAPE OF HUMAN MEMORY AT ROBERTA’S ART GALLERY 

Dive into the mesmerizing past and present worlds at Roberta’s Art Gallery with “Memoria,” by artist Will Timilin. This exhibit features digital imagery and projections that unfold illusions from the human memory. “Memoria” opens on Jan. 10 and will be on display until Feb. 9. 

“Memoria” is an immersive gallery experience that allows audience members to explore the vast landscape of the mysterious recollection. Through digital art and technology, Timlin encourages his audience to search these projected, enchanting spaces for stories. “The stories in the pieces are etched into the intricate folds of our minds,” says Timlin. “They include splinters of illusionistic hauntings fused with the grand, celestial, and euphoric.” 

Will Timlin is a graphic designer and digital artist based in Milwaukee, Wis. This will be Timlin’s first solo exhibition. Timlin is currently a senior at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree with an emphasis in graphic design and a minor in marketing. “I hope my audience will leave with an emotional response and understanding through my projections, whether it’s confusion or love,” says Timlin. “I want to highlight the misinterpretations of memory.”   

The artist reception takes place on Jan. 30 with an artist talk and an audience Q&A from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., followed by an open house with refreshments from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.
