Showcasing the innovative and experimental technologies used by artists today, the latest show at UNSW Galleries comments and engages in a dialogue with confronting issues of the 21st century. This international art and technology exhibition balances film, animation, digital and interactive art. Combining contrasting concepts of ‘real’ and ‘unreal’, the underpinning focus is creating the real human experience through technological engagement. Highly interactive, this exhibition is set to engage and excite as we re-evaluate what a common human experience is today.
