UCF Center for Emerging Media's Gallery 500 seems to have a knack for featuring exhibits that both challenge and engage the visitor in exciting ways. Their current exhibit, Alignment 2x, is no exception. Featuring the works of two artists, Brian R. Jobe and Jason S. Brown, the exhibit uses linear elements, colors, and common raw materials to bring about the "open-ended dialogue about currency and systems of economic and social values." The exhibit opened on January 7 and will stay through most of February 22, 2013.
