SPACE ODYSSEYS
sensation & immersion
International Symposium
Saturday 18 August 2001
Domain Theatre, Level 3
Art Gallery of New South Wales

Imagination is the original interactive multimedia; and the powerful
metaphor of the journey is destined to grow ever more vertiginous as the
silicon revolution heats up. How virtual is our being already? We construct
virtual maps and models, sample things from the media of our senses and
construct a world that is, at the same time, our experience of the world.
Space Odysseys: sensation and immersion will be held at the Art Gallery of
New South Wales between 18 August and 21 October 2001. Curator Victoria
Lynn.
This pre-eminent contemporary art event presents the work of leading
international and Australian contemporary artists who create large-scale
installations that physically immerse or surround the viewer. Major
international artists including Bruce Nauman, James Turrell, Mariko Mori,
Luc Courchesne and Gary Hill; Australian artists, Lynette Wallworth, David
Haines and Joyce Hinterding.
This symposium, held in conjunction with the exhibition Space Odysseys:
sensation and immersion, will offer lively perspectives on immersive and
virtual experiences in innovative art. Where are we going? How did we get
there? How do we come to grips with this experience that puts us at the
crossroads between new technologies and the human senses?
