Spooky Action at a Distance: New Video Works from Japanese Artists

Description
This exhibition of new Japanese video artists is a spew of grandeur and will introduce you to an electric alternate breed. There will be screams, vomiting, vacuuming, body hacking and electrical impulses to the face. Heavily bent on the DIY aesthetic, the notion of ‘expression’ will come in colours you’ve never seen. This ensemble of 2D surveillance clips, time lapse videos and on screen transformations will induce mind reeling and sinister feelings. For those favouring 3D activity witness a live Dorkbot performance at 5.30pm. – LL
