Contact Zone

Contact Zone by Victoria Wareham is an exhibition of new and recent work that understands screen-based technologies as temporal living entities that are subject to the mortal conditions of ageing and extinction.

The included works use analogue and digital technologies to form a screen-based ecosystem that imagines future screens as mutant, vitalist forms that are reclaiming their materiality.

This hyper-saturated vision of the future combines technological detritus from the past with chemically grown crystal forms to imagine future screens as mutant, vitalist forms that are reclaiming their materiality.

Metro Arts invites you to join us on Saturday, 7 December from 3:00pm for the opening of Contact Zone, featuring the following free events:

• 3:00pm – 4:00pm | Q&A with Kyle Weise (Curator, University of Queensland Art Museum UQAM)
• 4:00pm – 6:00pm | Exhibition Opening Event

“Working with the moving image in physical space, my practice addresses theoretical concerns relating to the ontological stability of the screen as defined by its relationship to the viewer and the digital image.” – Victoria Wareham
