CATCHING LIGHT
Campbelltown Arts Centre has paired together five creative innovators from the analogue and early digital eras to mentor and collaborate with five newer artists from various art, sound, video and performance disciplines.
“These artists work in similar mediums but they are generations apart. Joining them together will create new and exciting works and highlight how the next generation are returning to older technologies,” says Campbelltown Arts Centre Director Michael Dagostino.
The Catching Light exhibition explores how technology has informed the production of art over the past three decades and looks at how one can control, adapt and repurpose technology’s functionality.
Catching Light features robotic experiments in nature from multimedia artist Wade Marynowski and kinetic artist Michael Candy. Troy Innocent and Benjamin Kolaitis create an interactive, large-scale video game.
Seminal digital artist Linda Dement created a new installation work for the exhibition working collaboratively with Kelley Doley, the founding member of The Brown Council art collective.
