Overview
QUT is shining the innovative light again this month with Remoteness. Comprising series of works, Remoteness showcases artists who draw upon the social emotional and physical solitariness that has come to define our modern-day environment. Thanks to the digital age our world has never been more connected, but how deep do these connections go? Despite technologies bringing us together, some have never felt more isolated. It's these modern issues and evocative questions that are addressed and explored in Remoteness.
French-Canadian roboticd artist Louise Philippe Demers makes a noteable contribution to the project in the form of The Prayer Drums. The fascinating work can ultimately be described as a complex musical instrument based on Buddhist prayer drums, operated by a series of motion-detecting cameras and sensors.
Another work worth noting is Hello World! Or: How I Learned to Stop Listening and Love the Noise by American artist Christopher Baker which is made up of an awe-inspiring amount of of personal vlogs.
Remoteness is on display from 4-21 May at The Block, on QUT’s Kelvin Grove campus. It features these and more immersive installations, animations and video/screen art at The Block and on the massive outdoor projection screens.
