DIGITAL NATIVES is an exhibition of artwork of 10 Australian artists engaging with New Media as an artform, as concept or as socio-cultural phenomena.
Curated by Honours Candidate Fatima Hijazi, the artists and artworks in this exhibition have been selected from amongst 200 artists and over 3000 artworks in the University of Wollongong Art Collection.
The exhibition also responds to the web based exhibitions and draws attention to multidimensional systems of display and layout. The two methods of exhibition cross-reference a collaborative concern in information management, cultural evolution and artistic practice. The website project deals with the curatorial consideration of 21st century access and display systems such as interactivity and audience, tagging and classification, analog and digital, and original and reproduction. While the physical exhibition draws from The Brooklyn Museum Collection: The Play of the Unmentionable (1990) curated by artist Joseph Kosuth at the Brooklyn Museum and Andre Malraux Musuem without Walls (1952) that challenge the layout of traditional of chronological narrative displays.
Both the digital and physical platforms engage in this widening contemporary interest in Inter-media - as Dick Higgins describes a state "between the media" to investigate the "role of art and artist; with the relationship between action and object, between object and museum, between art and life; and how art is made, presented and received. They also have to do with the boundaries of art – how these are determined and by whom". (Statement on Intermedia, 1966)
Also on display is University of Wollongong Art Collection Ecosystem, an online exhibition and collaborative social media research project developed between the Faculty of Informatics and the Faculty of Creative Arts. See Tactilis Mensa for more information.
An opening reception will be held on Tuesday 20th October at 12.30pm. The reception and exhibition are open to the public and free of charge. Light refreshments will be served. All are welcome to attend.
