Networks \u00e2\u20ac\u201c social, political, physical and digital \u00e2\u20ac\u201c are a defining feature of contemporary life, yet their forms and operations often go unseen and unnoticed. For this exhibition Scott Kildall and Nathaniel Stern, artists and co-founders of Wikipedia Art, take these networks as their artistic materials and play-spaces to create artworks about love, power-play and a new social reality. Three works are shown for the first time in the UK: Wikipedia Art<\/a><\/em><\/span>, a collaborative work \u00e2\u20ac\u0153made\u00e2\u20ac\u009d of dialogue and social activity; Given Time<\/em><\/span><\/a>, an Internet artwork that creates a feedback loop across virtual and actual space; and Playing Duchamp<\/em><\/span><\/a>, a one-on-one meeting and game between an absent artist and viewer\/participant.

Strange Vegetation<\/em><\/span><\/a> grows an ecological system out of the Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s<\/a> unique decor. It germinates and mutates the wallpaper\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s images into a mesh of living things: physically interconnected and identical plant-like forms projecting, like bulbous roots, from the floor. Over a dozen of these latex volumes slowly breathe in and out, an inflation and deflation cycle that gradually distorts each form. The installation and its surroundings transform the site from museal space to biological habitat, producing a fantastical organism of an imagined future. Strange Vegetation<\/em> suggests that all built environments are (a) vibrant matter with the capacity for their own movement, change and agency over time. Read more…<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
