"...it is still unclear whether we are entering a new Dark Age or a new Renaissance."
Taking the possibility of technological and population spikes within the next fifty years as a conceptual starting point - a spike being a period of change of immense speed and scale that could end in human obsolescence or transformation - six contemporary artists have created a diverse mix of innovative multi-media installations for Spikes. Their work involves video, architectural interventions, installation, new media and 'wet' (or living) media. It examines the radical potential of bio-technological developments, mans relationship to his natural environment, spike prediction methods and imaginative sustainable visions for the future.
Forum 6pm Thursday 26 February in the gallery.
