[spectre] unNatural Selection - New Media Art in Regional Australia

[Snagglepussy]

It's a bit of journey even from Sydney, let alone from deep Europe - 
but perhaps this might be of interest to some of you.

unNATURAL SELECTION

An exhibition of sculpture and installation driven and inspired by 
technology, re-creating and re-interpreting natural elements and 
environments.

unNATURAL SELECTION challenges the crude capitalist mutation of 
Darwin's 'survival of the fittest' by creating a safe ecosystem for 
delicate technological hybrids to thrive. The works offer inspiration 
as well as insights into the mutualism of nature, the technological 
tools of our creation, and ourselves.

  This is the first large scale new media art exhibition to take place 
at the Manning Regional Gallery, Taree (5 hours north of Sydney).

Artists:

Melanie Foster - Moving to the Virtual Matrix
Matt Gardiner - Oribotics [Atom Generation]
Daniel Green - Experiments in Self Amusement - Level 1, I, Toy
Robin Petterd - Moments of Grey
Jasper Streit - Perceptual Screening III
