A Space Oddity
Art through an iPhone app; the future is closer than we think.
Overview
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on, A Space Oddity is the latest exhibition to don the walls of the Linden Centre for Contemporary Arts. Also spilling onto the nearby streets of St Kilda, the exhibition is curated by Jan Duffy and Matthew Perkins as an exploration of the changing human condition in an increasingly online environment.
Arguing that there’s still a human need for tangible engagement is artists Adad Hannah, Denys Arcand, Darren Sylvester, Masato Takasaka, Antoinette Citizen, Dominic Redfern, Akira Akira and Philip Samartzis, who each produce artworks that discuss the need for us 21st Century folk to navigate both virtual and physical spaces.
Including found objects, video works, an urban walking trail, sound works, and artworks that require viewing through the exhibition’s smartphone app, A Space Oddity is looking pretty exciting.
So commence the countdown, engines are gearing up from Friday, September 27, and the show will be on till November.
