Liminal: A Question of Position 11 Mar – 25 Apr 2009
Using digital media to explore how we position ourselves physically and culturally. Over 20 artists will come together to investigate what it means to live in a city - the urban hub where culture, society and beliefs collide. Liminal is concerned with interactions between the city, new media, technologies and cultural diversity. Information architectures share similarities with the architectures of cities, of institutions and bureaucracies and of the corporation and the state. How might the architectures of information be implicated in the power relations of communities? The visual capacities of new media provide the potential to platform a range of voices although this involves the cross-cultural negotiation and the forging of new forms of identities. Liminal provides an opportunity to explore questions of boundary through the ‘body' of Rivington Place. Its architect, David Adjaye, suggests that the spaces within the building should exist in a non-hierarchical relationship with each other. Liminal also engages with the street and the wider public sphere as a continuum with the building. http://www.iniva.org/exhibitions_projects/2009/liminal _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
