ARTISTS STATEMENT
The world is increasingly experienced through a connected, networked and socially mediated digital interface. The infinite possibility of the virtual exists in direct contrast to the material phenomena that underpins its presence.
Emerging representations of physical space and matter can disrupt conventional understandings of ‘the mental and social ecologies that produce us as subjects’. Through aesthetic and creative production Haining, Corcoran and Clapham attempt to resist existing systems of power. In the making of new forms and alliances (sculptural, digital, personal, professional) we explore the endless spatial plane of the emerging digital as a stage for the production of new subjectivities.

ID: In the forefront of the gallery, there are short metal poles lined up, evenly space out. Behind them is a metal hula hoop, laid on the ground. On the white wall directly behind the sculptures, there is a large blue piece of vinyl hung from the wall. In the middle of the gallery, there are two freestanding pieces of glass, with large clay like handles. On the white walls behind them, one has a television screen flashing white, the other wall has silver text stating “I never loved you anyway”.
<aslp gif> I love it. Eek accidentally sent the image to a work colleague! Alex me and andrew have been talking about having a tech seance as a part of our public program. Like we invite a core group of people to participate in a deep net trawl for like 3 hours or something and add cool stuff we find to a combined blog space or something. General public can access byod or use a happy or whatever provided too, and come and go as they please? *lappy <las vagas show>

Anyway DOhhh maybe it needs to be in a line tho
Can it be in a line across a corner, or is that too tricky?
It's quite long Um I don't know if it'll work around a corner It can go on glass tho to?
