A digital art installation — the Digital Dome — will be a key component of this year's Ball State Backyard. The exhibit is sponsored by Ball State in association with its Department of Landscape Architecture. Technology for the dome was provided by Ball State's Institute for Digital Intermedia Arts and Animation (IDIAA) and the Teleplex. The dome features flat-panel touch and plasma screens allowing visitors to explore information about the university and see numerous images from Ball State's campus, said Les Smith, a landscape architecture professor and the backyard's designer. Smith created the design of the dome and the art installation was completed by Nicholas Johnson, a recent Ball State graduate and research assistant for the university's Center for Media Design.
