Experimenta Life Forms: International Triennial of Media Art
This new art exhibition will run from 19 March to 9 May 2021.
Experimenta Life Forms: International Triennial of Media Art opens at Plimsoll Gallery (37 Hunter Street, Hobart) this Friday (19 March).
It will showcase art across robotics, bio-art, screen-based works, installations, participatory and generative art. It has been curated by Jonathan Parsons, Lubi Thomas, and Jessica Clark.
The exhibition, which will run from 19 March to 9 May 2021, thought-provokingly engages with ideas of how new understandings of biological and artificial life are challenging human-centric thinking.
It is the eighth national touring exhibition from Experimenta.
One of the exhibition’s most notable artworks is an installation work entitled ‘Biomess’ (pictured). It features significant natural history specimens from around the world.
The exhibition will embark on a three-year tour around Australia after it finishes in Hobart.
