Marking the end of the Spring semester, Santa fe University of Art and Design’s annual Outdoor Vision Fest approaches on April 29 with a variety of visual and physically interactive art displays. From past caged performers to creative film projection to edible symbols of the written word, OVF is an exhibition created by and for nearly every department at SFUAD. Jackalope Magazine interviewed OVF Executive Producer and screenwriting professor Terry Borst via email about the upcoming event. Jackalope Magazine: Can you start by describing to us what Outdoor Vision Fest is? How many years has Outdoor Vision Fest been an event on the Santa Fe University of Art and Design campus? Terry Borst: Outdoor Vision Fest® (OVF®) began as an experimental collaboration between The Film School and Graphic Design (when it still included Digital Arts) in Spring 2011.

Outdoor Vision Fest is an annual one-night-only on-campus event that showcases the creativity of students developing cutting-edge media installations that break down barriers between artistic disciplines. Use of Projection media and creation of an outdoor experience are really the only requirements for OVF installations, so everything from performance to motion graphics to multi-channel video to sculpture to sound-and-picture that interact with the audience may comprise a piece. JM: What kind of outside participation is involved? I’ve heard that Meow Wolf is a regular participant in OVF. What role do they, or any other outside involvement, play? TB: Meow Wolf has never participated in OVF. One can actually argue that some of OVF’s DNA is in Meow Wolf, as several current students and OVF alumni have contributed to the design and development of Meow Wolf’s new “House of Eternal Return.” We’re...
