CONTINUUM presents thirteen emerging digital and sound artists using new media to extend understandings of self and space. Through a variety of mediums and means, the exhibition asks how we locate ourselves in a world increasingly mediated by technology, yet still tethered to memory and feeling? In this ambitious exhibition, the participating artists bring their international perspectives as immigrants and/or worldly perspective seekers to this complex question. The works presented reflect a series of perspectives, shaped by scattered experiences, transnational movement, and a deep engagement with concepts of placement both real and invented. The result is an exhibition that is rooted in the human experience of contemporary cultures, creating new narratives of how time is spent. It challenges how we understand personal identity and our connections to physical spaces while clutching to the analog in an ephemeral tech society. Each artist explores the continuum of yearning and grief, both for what is lost and for what is yet to come, in ways that are uniquely contemporary.
The works range from audio, video, and sculpture craving an interaction with instruments most often untouchable. Influences ranging as drastic as the natural world, cyber environments, and the brief movement experienced between.
