Join us for Spark Panel Discussion, Residual Light: Traces of Industry & Technological Decay

225 Holliday St

Join us for a Panel Discussion at The Peale Museum!Residual Light: Traces of Industry &amp; Technological DecayModerated by Curator Liz Faust"What glows after the system shuts down?"Join us for an in-depth panel discussion exploring the theme of Residual Light, the first section of Industrial Afterglow. This conversation brings together six exhibiting artists whose work investigates the material, emotional, and ecological aftermath of industrial systems. From analog light sculptures and decaying CRT monitors to sonic cartographies and luminous grids, these artists reimagine technological decay not as an end, but as transformation. Featured Artists:<ul><li>McCoy Chance — sculptural installations using obsolete technologies as vessels of memory and emotional afterlife.</li><li>Tara Youngborg — glitch media and soundwork uncovering the ghostly hum of post-industrial spaces.</li><li>Timothy Nohe — kinetic dioramas simulating climate-driven fire as a residual glow of ecological collapse.</li><li>Jinyoung Koh — luminous paintings and installations translating failing infrastructures into trembling geometries.</li><li>Sue Borchardt — bioplastic light sculptures that decay in real-time, merging fragility with illumination.</li><li>Lynn Cazabon — photographic archives of “weeds” growing in toxic sites, challenging how we define value, resilience, and nature.</li></ul>Moderated by Liz Faust, the panel will dive into questions of memory, obsolescence, repair, and the aesthetics of leftoverness. What do these residual forms tell us about labor, energy, and the systems we've inherited - or abandoned?This event invites artists, students, scientists, designers, and community members into conversation about what we carry forward from broken systems - and how art can illuminate the ruins not with nostalgia, but with insight and imagination.
