TOO REAL
Tyler Eash, curator
OPENING NIGHT: FRIDAY SEP 9, 7PM
"Too Real", an exhibition about "unrealities", artificiality, and the transcendental utopias of the digital world. Five international artist/architects have developed works that mimic, represent, or create systems of nature. The data of these systems is visualized as false serene landscapes and is manifested in the forms of sculpture, photography, and sound.
