ZERO LATITUDE – Armin Keplinger

OPENING: November 28, 1-6pm
OPENING RECEPTION: November 28, 6-9pm; complimentary drinks kindly provided by BrewDog
EXHIBITION DATES: November 28 – December 1, 1-7pm

ZERO LATITUDE premieres a new body of artworks by Armin Keplinger, including the VR-installation ‚ms-R‘ alongside kinetic and live-triggered sound sculptures.

While melting together digital and analogue, the show investigates different states of void and infinity, the collapse of unstable conditions – and their tipping point – as well as ever-changing sculptures over time.

Framed around these key themes there is Keplinger’s latest fatigue in VR ‚ms-R‘, featuring a moon-sliced ring with zero latitude. As the ring moves slowly in circle around the participant’s view with subtle light and movements, ‚ms-R‘ aims to send the viewer in a journey to black-end spaces.

The exhibition is curated by George Vitale.

Big thanks to Grover for the ongoing support.
