Work by Marco Fusinato is included in Radio Alice, a group exhibition at Victorian College of the Arts Gallery, Melbourne.

Melbourne-based Fusinato explores rhetorics of extremism in art, music, and politics. For his shocking installation Aetheric Plexus, encroaching visitors trigger a huge sound-and-lighting rig that blasts them with 13,000 watts of blinding white light (as if they were the performer) and 105 decibels of deafening white noise.
