Exhibit #20:
"XYZ SPIN"
by Susan Thomas

‘Nature is not made of particles but fluid like substances (invisible fields) that ripple (wave) through the universe’. If the reality of a coin, its force, reflection & movement in space were calculated by a dominant object/ particle myth how would the ‘gravity’ of such things manifest in society?

About the artist:

Susan’s art questions the hidden dimensions of electronic devices and other media. She explores representations of the material world informed by intuition, science and experimentation.

Exhibit #21:
"Rainforest"
by Armando Licul

Life at eye-level in the rainforest. The irony of symbiosis in nature is that species are often prey to one another, so who gets to survive in this encounter? My reflection on life on earth... in general terms. ;)

Exhibit #22:
"Godhead of Air"
by Luke Brohman

"In this photographic art, I've explored the element of air within the body, the way it possesses and moves us. The model is a close friend I've witnessed as a Priestess of Air, and so I invited her to embody the element through gesture, motion, shape and symbol. Through abstraction, a being emerges."

About the artist:

Devoted to communication and beauty, I use photography, film and graphics to convey a story of the things at the edges, and the beings beyond. I'm interested in the spirits of shape, symbol and gesture, and I seek to question the line between self & other, wild & domestic, natural & artifice.

About the artist:

Like the wave and particle process of quantum, Carl’s art practice is not set in concrete. It oscillates between representational depictions of the world in which we live and paintings of the various neurological, chemical and hormonal energies which create our inner world.

"Wontanella"
by Dave Doyle

"Failing to scratch the surface - an airy spatial displacement"
by Susan Thomas

"Scratching the surface doesn’t prepare soil for planting, just as I fail to scratch the airy transparent reality of this technology. Electromagnetic waves with unbounded shape transform scale & magnitude. It can absorb/reproduce ones likeness, but reflects nothing of itself for cultural criticism."

Video art, MP4, 1min

About the artist:

Susan explores the obfuscation of object / subject relationships through the use of electronic communication technologies and devices. She explores the variants of time and space and how it is measured and represented.
