Paraspace is a
group show that explores cyberspace and the rhetorical
conditions of its existence. 

Paraspace is a term
created by writer Samuel R. Delaney to refer to an alternate
‘space’ existing parallel to normal or ordinary space. A
linguistically intensified zone, paraspace is both a
conceptual and material realm that we can enter with the help
of technology, and that is affected and affects ‘real’ space.

This exhibition
explores ways in which contemporary artists using digital
tools address cyberspace, body, and nature in the post
internet time. The selected artists use animation, 3D computer
graphics, video, and glitches to model virtually simulated
scenes out of the detritus of internet and consumer culture.
Paraspace  presents an imploded realm where the ontological
status of subject and landscape is opened to question and
position for redefinition.
Curated by Andrea Wolf and CHiKA.
