Partner artist: Marta Larzabal
Awarded partner artist: Amy Conlon

The modern term for ‘technology’ comes from the Greek word ‘techne’ meaning art, or craft.

As a showcase of artworks, Techne seeks to explore intersections of technology, art and imagination. Through audience immersion, Techne will question our interpretation of reality and propose ways of constructing new worlds.

Using technology as content and medium, the artists presenting in this showcase have created works that allow the visualisation and embodiment of virtual and imagined realms, referencing entertainment, art, wrestling, video games and fictional literature.

The audience is invited to playfully engage in a simulation that will encourage both reflection and reconstruction.

House Conspiracy: 42 Mollison Street, West End 4101
