Feedback Loops

Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) is opening its summer season exhibition Feedback Loops in December and will exhibit until March 22.

The exhibition presents six immersive artworks from Australian and international artists using a mix of video, installation, interactive gaming, artificial intelligence and live performance alongside material practices of sculpture, textiles, drawing and painting.

Having been born in the generation of the 1980s, exhibiting artists drew from their experience of growing up in an age of developing technology, popular culture and art history, using aesthetics of the internet and ethics of new materialist philosophies.

Themes of mythology, spirituality and philosophy have been merged with new media, computer and virtual life expressed as disrupted approaches to narrative, time, space, value, power and considerations of empathy towards both human and non-human forms.

The show is curated by Miriam Kelly and includes new commissions and recent works by Madison Bycroft (Australia), Tianzhuo Chen (China), Lu Yang (China), Sahej Rahal (India), Justin Shoulder (Australia) and Zadie Xa (Canada).
