Monash University Museum of Art (MUMA) in association with Melbourne Festival presents
TECHNOLOGISM
Curator CHARLOTTE DAY
Monash University Museum of Art
(MUMA) concludes its three–part
series on watershed moments
in art history with Technologism,
a major group exhibition on the
cultural, social and political impact
of technological advancements in
the modern era.
Featuring artworks that engage
both physically and conceptually
with electronic systems—
television, computers, the internet,
smartphones—Technologism
focuses on the ways artists critique
and disrupt official uses of the
media, or construct their own
machines and data systems.
Bringing together historical and
contemporary artworks from
Australian and international
practitioners, including several
new commissions, Technologism
delves into the profound impact
technology has made on art.
