Christopher Handran: The Curve of Sensations

Overview

Welcome to a brave new world, art, film, media and culture fans. What's that, you ask? Well, it's a world in which thinking about the science and sensation of looking and viewing in this technology-heavy, screen-focused times is going to become one of our most frequent pastimes. We don't just like to watch and observe, these days. We also like to contemplate how and why.

Truly stepping into the space where art and analysis combine, Christopher Handran's The Curve of Sensations both offers audiences an experience and asks them to think about it. Displaying at Metro Arts until March 1, the exhibition ponders and deconstructs all of those domestic devices, and the content that plays on them, that we all know, use and love.

Expect a spectacle that will make you consider the very forms of media in front of you — which is what all great art, screen or otherwise, should do, isn't it? In terms of impact, Handran is aiming big, given that he takes the showcase's name from research into cinema pioneers Louis and August Lumiere. Without them, watching as we know it would't have been possible.
