Image for Contact Zone
Contact Zone
Contact Zone by Victoria Wareham is an exhibition of new and recent work that explores the ontology of the screen by understanding it as an invisible, autonomous membrane that exists between image, object and viewer. This hyper-saturated vision of the future combines technological detritus from the past with chemically grown crystal forms to imagine future screens as mutant, vitalist forms that are reclaiming their materiality. “Working with the moving image in physical space, my practice addresses theoretical concerns relating to the ontological stability of the screen as defined by its relationship to the viewer and the digital image.” – Victoria Wareham Event held in 97 Boundary Street, West End, QLD 4101
