Exhibition - MediaLive: Data Rich, Dirt Poor

Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art (BMoCA) is excited to announce the Fall 2025 Exhibition, MediaLive: Data Rich, Dirt Poor, where we examine the question, “What’s it all worth?” As narrow modes of valuation dominate the contemporary landscape, the 2025 edition of MediaLive digs into how value and values are constructed—environmentally, culturally, and archivally. Committed to expansive definitions of media and media arts, the exhibition champions low tech and tactile methods that resist the hyper-valuation of the latest technologies. Taken together, the works and curation make proposals for degrowth in a world seemingly fixed in asset mode.

The Fall Exhibition is generously sponsored by Ann Bateson & Frank Everts, The Redman Foundation, Boulder County Arts Alliance, Boulder Arts Commission, City of Boulder, Colorado Creative Industries, Community Foundation of Boulder County, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Scientific & Cultural Facilities District, and United Way of Larimer County.
