What Lies Beneath, Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney

What Lies Beneath, curated by collaborative team Robyn Backen and John Tonkin, showcases works that engage with physical and virtual spaces. The exhibition addresses renewed interest in the concept of immersion and technologies such as VR by focusing on artists who have long explored immersive experiences through a range of practices. What Lies Beneath engages with perception and brings attention to acts of seeing, listening and moving the body. Spoken language and the recollection of memory are other common elements. The audience is encouraged to wander both physically and virtually through different multisensory somatic spaces imagined by seven Australian artists.
