Plastic Image

Opening Reception Sunday September 15 , 2-6PM

PLASTIC IMAGE filled a need for a makers’ space where artists could work in a direct hands-on manner in the creation process of their copy artwork, which became known as electrographics. At PLASTIC IMAGE they not only could use the machines themselves to photocopy images, they could push the machines to do things they were never intended to do.

Owned by Sherry Edwards and George Fifield, it was the first Electrographics studio open to the public in the country. During its time several hundred artists, from all over the globe, worked at PLASTIC IMAGE producing thousands of exciting images. Many of these artists would never have become involved with electrographics were it not for the kind of access and instruction available at PLASTIC IMAGE. Certainly none of these artists would have developed their high quality of electrographics without hands-on machine access.

CURRENT – A Multiplayer AR-Sound-Experience

VISIBLE Now outside the gallery until September 2024

The multiplayer app CURRENT, created by the German artists /p, Anke Schiemann and She’s Excited!, merges the worlds of Augmented Reality (AR) technology, sound art, 3D visuals, and audience engagement. This immersive experience explores the impact of oceanic currents on our planet's climate in a playful way.

The audiences dive into the ocean and follow the oceanic currents into the deep sea. They are surrounded by creatures and plants of the ocean in 3D: Seagulls fly over their heads. Sharks swim by. Kelp whirls. Urchins sit at their feet. When touching these animals and plants in AR, the 3D objects start to move and audio samples are triggered. The mood starts to shift while visitors explore different audio-visual surroundings: Plastic islands swirl, a siren howls, it starts to snow because of dropping temperatures, oil drops are polluting the water. The sounds evoke an imminent crisis.

Through a unique combination of interactive technology, storytelling and the shared creativity of the audience, CURRENT aims to captivate and spark conversations while fostering a deeper connection between interdisciplinary art, nature, and human emotion.
