Millikin event features the latest in digital performance

Millikin University's annual Arts Technology Expo is not only a platform for creativity and innovation, but a time to bring together a variety of projects and student-run ventures under one roof.

This year's expo, hosted on Dec. 4 in the University Commons, featured student work in design, photography, videography, animation, audio production, marketing and interactive media. Guests were given an opportunity to engage with technology such as virtual reality tools and robotics.
