Experimenta Make Sense is an exhibition expressing all of the disconcerting delights that make up life in the digital age.
What does it mean to feel in an era of disembodied communication? To think in a world of algorithms and artificial minds? What does it mean to ‘do’ today?
Both playful and challenging, this exhibition asks us to contemplate just what it is to be human in the technological acceleration of our information society. Experimenta Make Sense presents a program of over 20 leading international and Australian artists who engage directly with this conundrum.
Artists: Robert Andrew, Keith Armstrong, Ella Barclay, Michele Barker and Anna Munster, Briony Barr with Andrew Melatos, Steve Berrick, Antoinette J. Citizen, Adam Donovan, Lauren Edmonds, Jane Gauntlett, Matthew Gardiner, Jon McCormack, Lucy McRae, Gail Priest, Scale Free Network: Briony Barr and Gregory Crocetti, Andrew Styan and Judy Watson.
