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 21^st 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.
