Abstract
MIC Toi Rerehiko is pleased to present Hybrids, an exhibition featuring nine local and international artists who integrate rapid prototyping processes with other media. Rapid prototyping technology has largely been used by industrial manufacturers and has since been adopted by architects and digital media artists.
Considered within an artmaking sphere, the process raises issues over ontology,authenticity and place amongst others. The works in the exhibition seek to address these while still embracing their own materiality, in model making technology and digital culture. As the title Hybrids suggests, the works comprise a combination of these ideas with a range of media including live performance, social and formal sculpture, video installation and painting.
