SUBMIT WORK AND INSTALLATION PROPOSALS TO DIGITAL PLASTIC SHOW
Where? Gelman Gallery at the Chace Center, RISD Museum
(gallery site: http://www.risd.edu/About/Galleries_Exhibitions/Gelman/)

With digital systems taking part in our everyday lives, the line between the physical world and the virtual world is increasingly blurred. Since the popularization of virtual reality in the 90's, our perception and interaction with the material world has profoundly changed. Virtual reality promised the realization of a radically new era, charged with possibilities and futures up to then unimagined. Today, it has opened a gap rich with creative possibility that speaks to the transformative potential of our world. We re-evaluate and re-arrange interactions with the material realm in the manner of the immaterial. This show will address transformations of space, the body, time, futurity, subjectivity and interpersonal connectivity as a response to the coexistence of the physical and the virtual today.
