Award Recipients

Judith Baca in Chicana and Chicano Studies in recognition of her development and use of an "interactive digital mural" that enables murals to reside on the Internet as well as public space for public response. Clickable sections enable the viewer to further explore the mural for such things as historical background. When viewed in a facility like the ATS Visualization Portal, the viewer can also fly or walk through the mural.
