Event Information

This large-scale solo exhibition presents 8 to 13 interactive pieces that involve the public as an integral part of the artwork. In “Recorders”, artworks hear, see or feel the public; they exhibit awareness and record and replay memories entirely obtained during the show.

The pieces either depend on participation to exist or predatorily gather information on the public through surveillance and biometric technologies. The exhibition is meant to oscillate between the seduction of participation, preservation and inclusion, and the violence of Orwellian and ubiquitous computerized detection.

In all cases the artwork compiles a database of behaviours that then becomes the artwork itself.

Rafael Lozano-Hemmer: Recorders is part of the Sydney International Art Series.
