Eastside International is pleased to present the group exhibition HOW TO WATER, curated by Shelley Holcomb and Theo Triantafyllidis. HOW TO WATER is a multimedia exhibition that delves into the depths of the internet to frame the commanding force of our most basic element. Similar to water, the internet is an immersive environment— fluid by nature and residual in its lasting ability to augment our experience of time and space. As our localized crisis continues to grow, and our reservoirs drain barren, will technology present a promising potential sea for preservation or simulation? Utilizing web-interfaces, internet-sourced imagery, installations, and interactive new media as an archival medium for experimentation and mediation, the artists showcased here capture the ephemeral essence of water through virtualizing the basis of its temporality.
