The surrealism of materials, sculptural absurdism and language all feature in this end-of-season Experimenta Social. Please join us for a celebratory conclusion of Experimenta Social with two presentations exploring the material world, symbolism, language and observation.

This end of year celebration will be feature Ceri and Jule presenting live from the ACMI X kitchen where they promise to turn up the heat on their under cooked tasteless food-for-thought. Brisbane-based media artist Michael Candy will present his kinetic sculptural work featuring robotic personalities, sculptural paradoxes and physicalised responses to complex systems. We hope you will join us for this playful and performative end to the year.

About Experimenta Social

Join us each month for Experimenta Social - a series of talks, discussions and demos designed to provide proximity to some of Australia’s most adventurous contemporary artists, researchers and creative technologists.

This artist-led series is curated by Emile Zile in collaboration with Experimenta Media Arts and explores practices at the nexus of art and technology, science, culture and design. You will hear from artists sharing their latest projects and researchers presenting projects that grapple with the concerns of our time. Beyond inconsequential debates over the role of media arts in a post-media world, Experimenta Social will combine activated audiences drawn from contemporary art, social research, electronic art and non-professional spheres for lively debate and discussion.
