Experience the whimsy of the New Media Gallery’s latest exhibition, Dominion.
Featuring pieces by four artists from around the world, Dominion seeks to explore the relationship between the natural world and technology. The exhibition includes video, electronic media, appropriated material, sound and light, according to a press release.
“Each work captures migratory, programmed movements, flows and computations between the natural and the technological realms,” reads the release.
Pieces in the exhibit include Mat Collishaw’s The Centrifugal Soul, which spins under a strobe light “to create a lush, dizzying illusion of flapping, mating, preening birds and flowers,” according to the release.
American artist Jim Campbell’s Exploded View Birds uses blinking lights to evoke the image of migratory birds in flight. Italy’s Davide Quayola has brought Natures, a “series of plant studies, described as vibrant, immaterial and contingent,” notes the release.
Also featured in the exhibit is Kathy Hinde’s piece Piano Migrations, which uses a piano soundboard stripped of its trappings to reveal a more “ethereal” instrument that is activated by the shadows of swallows, according to the release.
Catch Dominion at the New Media Gallery until Oct. 1. The gallery is on the third floor of Anvil Centre, 777 Columbia St. It’s open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday to Sunday, and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursdays.
