Join curator Nicholas Aloisio-Shearer for an exhibition tour of Jon Rafman: Memento Hikikomori, the acclaimed Canadian artist’s first major Australian exhibition.
The talk explores Rafman’s practice of investigating internet culture through online archives, video games, digital imagery and fringe virtual communities. Aloisio-Shearer will discuss key works from the exhibition, including the ongoing photographic project Nine Eyes (2008–), the feature-length video Main Stream Media Network (2025–26), and the films Punctured Sky (2021), Still Life (Betamale) (2013), and Kool-Aid Man in Second Life (2008–11).
The exhibition examines how digital technologies shape memory, identity and our shared online experience.
