Artists have created unique metaphorical portraits of his/her animal spirit, or that of another person, place, thing, or even society as a whole.</span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Our program attempts to reach beyond the traditional sphere of reality through imaginary forms. The exhibition tests perceived limitations of the self through fantastic images. Through this investigation, artists have expanded on the inner and outer boundaries of geography, ethnicity, tradition, media or other perceived limitations.</span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">"Ethereal Fauna" contemplates each artist's interpretation of the inner animal as it reflects on our perceived reality and illuminates us by creating a dialogue between our consciousness and the animal nature of our inner world.</span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">"Ethereal Fauna" interacts both virtually and physically among the participating artists and audience.</span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Virtually -- as a Web-based archive of the artists and their works.</span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Physically -- as a unique presentation of a shared media and a shared matrix.</span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">The installation unifies the dialogue of all the artists' experiments.</span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">The exploratory use of recyclable, translucent, <a href="http://www.yupousa.com/paper/applications/artists" target="_blank">Yupo</a> synthetic paper is the common physical forum that becomes a unique environmental habitat, akin to the pages from a fantastic zoological manuscript.</span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br />
