Experimenta Recharge 6th International Biennial of Media Art - Opening at RMIT Gallery 2014

Experimenta Recharge 6th International Biennial of Media Art - Opening at RMIT Gallery 2014 Experimenta RECHARGE: 6th International Biennial of Media Art presents the work of artists who employ, critique and experiment with media and technology. The exhibition’s thematic and title, Recharge, focuses attention on artists whose work is inspired by and entangled with the past. Recharge asks: does knowledge change when it is presented in different technological forms and cultural contexts? Through processes of experimentation, and by producing unconventional perspectives, can artists illuminate existing knowledge and meaning for a new generation? Can an artwork lead us to new modes of consciousness? Media art is inherently multidisciplinary and Recharge features artworks that draw from photography, biology, sculpture and installation, electromagnetics, sound art, robotics, gaming, dance, the world-wide-web, performance, 3D printing, animation, film, video, and analogue television. Featuring five new commissions, the exhibition presents works from more than twenty artists from across Australia and international artists from Brazil, Germany, Japan, The Netherlands, UAE and USA.
