Warwick Art Gallery Queensland

12 August to 19 September 2010

 
 

Video Dome is an innovative, new media exhibition which will be touring nationally until 2011.  Managed by ART ON THE MOVE The National Exhibitions Touring Structure for WA Inc, the tour of Video Dome is supported by Visions of Australia, an Australian Government program supporting touring exhibitions by providing funding assistance for the development and touring of cultural material across Australia.


 The Video Dome exhibition comprises artworks which are collaborations between artists and research scientists referencing astronomical phenomena and contemporary art. Inspired by ‘the sublime’, the artworks by David Carson and Paul Bourke aim to capture the infinite and indefinable aspects of nature and the universe. The program features fish-eye projections which play continuously on a 30 minute loop, accompanied by a complimentary soundtrack. The viewer is immersed in a full sensory experience, surrounded with vision and sound, inside a 5 metre inflated dome. This unusual environment is a whole new way of experiencing projected moving images and surround-sound. The exhibition pushes the boundaries of contemporary art into the domain of planetariums and science museums.
