We live in a time of political fatigue, environmental crisis and spiritual abandonment. Often it is easier to tune out than to engage with the unknowns of our present, let alone our future. A new generation of experimental artists are here to encourage us to snap out of it and face the unsettled mood of our times through a creative and elaborate awakening of our senses.

Through interactive installations and immersive art projects, we’ll be encouraged to face the current complexities of our world through technologically-facilitated meditation and provocation. These artists explore visual therapies and sensory remedies, both stimulating and stark, in order to embolden participants to look within and question their physical and emotional responses to external challenges. In collaboration with Next Wave Festival, Experimenta Social #17 invites presenting artists from this year’s festival program to discuss their projects.

This event is presented in collaboration with Next Wave Festival, 3 – 20 May 2018

Experimenta Social is presented in partnership with  ACMI X and supported by Marc Besen AC and Eva Besen AO.
