Paraspace is a group show that explores cyberspace and the rhetorical conditions of its existence. 

Paraspace is a term created by writer Samuel R. Delaney to refer to an alternate ‘space’ existing parallel to normal or ordinary space. A linguistically intensified zone, paraspace is both a conceptual and material realm that we can enter with the help of technology, and that is affected and affects ‘real’ space.

This exhibition explores ways in which contemporary artists using digital tools address cyberspace, body, and nature in the post internet time. The selected artists use animation, 3D computer graphics, video, and glitches to model virtually simulated scenes out of the detritus of internet and consumer culture. Paraspace  presents an imploded realm where the ontological status of subject and landscape is opened to question and position for redefinition.Curated by Andrea Wolf and CHiKA.
