The Modern - I'll Be Your Mirror: Art and the Digital Screen
Exhibition on Display: February 12, 2023 - April 30, 2023
A thematic group exhibition that examines the screen’s vast impact on art from 1969 to
the present. This exhibition surveys more than sixty works by fifty artists over the past
five decades. The artists included examine screen culture through a broad range of media
such as paintings, sculpture, video games, digital art, augmented reality, and video.
Screens affect nearly every aspect of life today. Their pervasiveness has bred a 24/7
breaking news cycle, the looming corporate-sponsored virtual-reality "Metaverse,"
unlimited accessibility and content, and an ease in how ideas and images are distributed,
undoubtedly shaping culture in profound ways. This exhibition starts in 1969 the year of
the televised Apollo moon landing and the launch of the internet’s prototype...

FW Museum of Science & History - Paluxysaurus jonesi
This Early Cretaceous sauropod lived about 110 million to 115 million years ago.
Paluxysaurus jonesi was estimated to stand about 12 feet high at the shoulder and weigh
20 tons. That’s about the weight of seven elephants! From nose to tail, the dinosaur
measured about 60 feet long. The skeleton on view is actually a combination of four
different Paluxysaurus skeletons found in a similar area. Though 60 to 70 percent of a
full skeleton was found, most of the bones are too fragile or deformed to be mounted,
so casts were made using 3D modeling techniques! Paluxysaurus jonesi’s name comes from
the location of the dig site, a sandstone quarry on the Jones ranch in Hood County, Texas.
This site was close to the town of Paluxy on the Paluxy River.
