The Marbled Plane
Original Sports Angel (Inez Genereux and Cale Weir)
The Marbled Plane spans an infinite landscape of esteemed opulence and artificial beauty. Marble imagery has become a popular reoccurring theme in Internet art aesthetics. Classical aesthetics have developed new meaning by being placed in a totally artificial context and shifting their contingency from being reserved for only the elite, to hugely accessible across the Internet. A marble bust is destroyed in order to make space for the New Aesthete, and its material is recycled to create a literal aesthetic simulacra.

Spectres of the Future
Curated by Shauna Jean Doherty
Victoria Delle Donne, James Rollo, Franco Arcieri, and Sook Jung
Spectres of the Future is a group exhibition of student works that combines analogue and digital artworks to reflect on the meaning of presence in a society saturated by technologies of representation. The physical presence of the viewer is made necessary in this exhibition to animate the works themselves, engaging in a discussion of immaterial/material and presence/absence across communication networks, magnetic fields, and digital worlds. Holograms, theremins, and, interactive projections, foreground the complexity of the physical body in a technical world, where intimate exchange is complicated by immaterial distance. Together the artists each interrogate this physical world with their ghostly imagery in order to access a more metaphysical one.
Presented in partnership with the Images Festival – http://imagesfestival.com/

Memorial
William Andrew Finlay Stewart
In a movie theatre, the credits are a phenomenon that some choose to participate in and some choose to reject. This reaction is common to more solemn lists, such as war memorials and the names of those lost to catastrophes. They overwhelm and are difficult to process. Some of the audience stay and observe, some leave. The staff sweep up popcorn and collect garbage. Memorial by William Andrew Finlay Stewart is a meditation on remembrance, loss, and the cinema.
Original score by Jon Lawless

The Emotional Problems of Living
Tobias Williams
The Emotional Problems of Living is a looping 3d computer animation. The animation shows a scene of a sculptural object illuminated by a commodore 64 monitor cycling through the RGB (red green blue) colour spectrum. On the left hand side stand three origami unicorns, the scene is framed on either side by white geometric shapes. This animation is part of a body of work produced for the 2014 Round Table Residency which explores the relationship between physical and digital objects.
