As glass is broken, crushed into sand, and melted into glass again. This exhibition is built on such shifting sands.
We are all growing accustomed to transfiguring our way of being in the world. Previously unthinkable situations have become commonplace. Rather than sway with these seismic shifts, we would like to consider how things may be dissolved and reconfigured in equally, and previously, unthinkable ways. We have watched the boundaries between media, politics, science, make-believe and magic become more permeable – for good or for ill.
“The world exists only as a medium in which we execute our desires. Physically, the world itself, the actual world – the real world, if you like – is formed of malleable clay; its metaphysical structures is just as malleable.”
– Angela Carter, The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor HoffmanAcknowledging this shaky territory, we invite you to visit ‘Shivers’, a collection of works which may tremble, rupture, collapse and reform.
This Goldsmiths MA/MFA Computational Arts Degree show will feature ground-breaking immersive performances, interactive installations, virtual and augmented realities, and other thought-provoking works by mixed disciplinary artists from a diverse range of fields including fine art, design, psychology, music and creative computation.
