The Pit

Embodied
MELANIE FOSTER

installation

This installation explores and comments on the body, gender and identity in relation to cyberspace and virtual worlds. Many people believe cyberspace to be a disembodied medium. How we represent ourselves in relation to the real world, is no longer meant to be an issue in cyberspace. The cyberspace dream lies in the transcending of the body, to be able to live, communicate and interact with others without the limitations and constraints of a material body. This entry into a simulated digital world causes the interface between the perceived and the perceiver to become more transparent and create a sense of complete immersion in a highly mediated elsewhere. Questions of what or who is represented, by whom, for whom, and with what effect are supposed to disappear. This is the imagined condition of cyberspace. Melanie Foster

The Locker Room

Reflections

ANGELA POOLE-WILEY

sculpture

This body of work is based on the ideas of lost time, place and memory; the traces that we leave behind for others to ponder while the elements of nature slowly erase them. The cement lily forms one representative of death, the death of a traditional lifestyle. The lilies are earth-moulded and formed with their own pebble, reminiscent of grinding food. Together these forms create a river formation to reflect river banks, the traces left behind by grinding food against the rocks.

The Hoist

My Digi Diana

SARAH COCKROFT

photography

I have entered the digital age in leaps and bounds, with my very first digital camera. It creates photos at a large amount of half a mega pixel. This brilliant piece of technology allows you to capture your most cherished memories at the push of a button. Compact and easy to use, with the latest state of the art engineering, this little baby is smaller than your average credit card. Sarah Cockroft

Jäke Can Knit

Why are The Angry Sea Jellies so discontented with the human condition ? Who is Trevor the effeminate koala? And is Björk coming ? We can’t be sure. But one thing is certain: Jäke can knit. Jake Henzler
