DASS Design Week Jakarta

DASS M Block Design Week October 2022 – Jakarta

4 – 16 October 2022

I am thrilled to announce that my video work, Resurgence, has been selected as one of 30 artworks from over 400 for a special DASS Design Week screening at M Block in Jakarta, Indonesia, supported by Connected Art Platform and Media Art Globale.

About my work, Resurgence,
Technology and advancement cannot erase the deeply embedded purpose of nature: to survive at all costs. All of our futile attempts to destroy something so stunningly complex and beautiful will instead only destroy us. As we look for answers in all the wrong places, nature is learning how to reinvent itself, to revive and reform into its beautiful, delicate and resilient purpose.

It was originally created for Project/Forward: 2048 and recently exhibited at Sydney Fringe Festival in the Rocks, Sydney and the original month-long DASS exhibition back in April-May.

4 – 16 October 2022
