Digital images combine with loud, throbbing music in "Rule of the Soul," an installation by local artist Kasumi. It's one of the highlights of Cool Meets Innovation, the Cleveland Institute of Art's annual faculty exhibit. While the artists — who use animation, photography, and sculpture — weren't given a specific theme to develop, most of the 50-plus pieces form a cohesive look at contemporary culture. And most of them embrace modern technology, whether it's Photoshopped images or video installations. Best of all, many of the works on display are for sale.
Mondays-Saturdays, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Starts: Sept. 8. Continues through Oct. 14
