Experimenta specifically commissioned three interactive artworks for the exhibition including a deliciously impetuous and humorous piece by Sydney duo, Jaki Middleton and David Lawrey. Titled What’s Yours is Mine visitors peer into a Magic Faraway Tree to get a glimpse into a fairytale forest in which a virtual bear pays homage to pioneer video artist Bruce Nauman. Immersion by Angela Barnett, Andrew Buchanan, Darren Ballingall, Chris MacKellar & Christian Rubino is a treat for the senses as it lets visitors play with sea creatures in a virtual underwater world. Charmed by Priscilla Bracks, Gavin Sade & Matt Dwyer offers omnipotence through a touch screen as the artwork invites visitors to tinker with the lives of animated people in a tabletop city.
Other Australian artists featured include Shaun Gladwell, whose video art was shown at the 2007 Venice Biennale of Contemporary Art, Daniel Crooks, Narinda Reeders and Stelarc.
International artists include Fischli & Weiss, Hiraki Sawa, Guy Ben Ner, June Bum Park, Philip Worthington, Eugenio Ampudia, PES, Hiraki Sawa & Tomoyuki Washio, Roman Signer, Tmema, Kuang-Yu Tsui, Guillaume Reymond, Julie C. Fortier, Donna Conlon, Irene Iborra & Jossie Malis and Seok-Hyun Yu.
Through the language of play the artists ask the gallery visitors to stop and think about complex issues and profound experiences in enjoyable and often surprising ways.
After Sydney the exhibition continues its national tour to galleries in cities and regional centres including Perth, Adelaide, Bendigo and Albury.
