RESISTANCE IS FUTILE: technology art group exhibition @ the SWICH
RESISTANCE IS FUTILE explores the key concepts and underlying effects of Information Technology and Cyber Culture on the way we live.
The artists' response to this theme are varied and include comment on the use of technology in war as well as in the everyday domestic environment. A number of the artworks express concerns of becoming overwhelmed and controlled by technology, where others revisit the the 'big bang' of computer technology and offer a new perspective on obsolete technology.
Artists from Ipswich, Brisbane and Melbourne have participated in this exhibition using a range of mediums from painting and mixed media to digital graphics and installation.
