Temporal Contours v.04
Temporal Contours is a quarterly series of audio experimentation presented in a live (and hopefully future exhibition) setting, typically held in The Output. The intent is to provide a stage for artists working in sound to share their creative efforts, regardless of experience: we love to see new projects and people! We will be holding an open call in the near future in an effort to allow more artists to access this arena. Details of this will be released shortly so please stay tuned. We typically showcase work from local artists but occasionally are able to host others.

WNDX – Exhibition: Random Variables
Random Variables curated by Ushmita Sahu brings together a group of young video-art practitioners from across India. Video art is a relatively late entrant in the Indian contemporary art scene and it has gradually made its way into art school curriculums only in the last decade or so, leading to a crop of young artists working with moving images.
Media Arts Residency 2018 Exhibition Series
For the 2018 Media Arts Residency year-end, we are hosting two exhibitions and one presentation.
Poolside Project Space – Angela Henderson + Solomon Nagler
This exhibition is a continuation of a collaborative project that explores the porous architecture of the genizah; a non-archive where sacred printed matter deteriorates without intervention. Laser-cut steel sculptures, 16mm projections, and speculative wood structures draw out the tension between digital processes and hand-formed objects. This assemblage suggests an archive of ephemera; a tension between stasis and flux; illumination and the ineffable.
