Unpalpable

Unpalpable is an exploration of the edges of our understanding. What happens at the interface between comprehension and incomprehension? How do we recruit our bodies as instruments for embodied perception? A collection of artefacts map and model our attempts to navigate the seemly illogical, impossible or imaginary. The exhibition space becomes a live studio/laboratory/archive to examine physicality, virtuality and perception. An exhibition-project by Timothy Willis and Rex Rollin.

//This exhibition is an exploration of catalog, the aesthetics of  maintenance that are an invisible but indispensable part of any collection//

The scanning was apart of the cataloging, viewers where encouraged to scan in objects over different texts and the room sheets bringing a liveliness to the sometimes serine environment of the gallery, objects transform relationally from something untouchable because of social code, to that code being broken down somewhat, we where very conscious of having a spectrum of relations to objects in the space.

This put simply is an attempt to play with the authority of viewership, the difference between the way a museum interprets and object compared to a human.

Objects integrated into computer shaped forms

what am i doing: what is this space i have created in this vast silicon universe, I think it is perhaps most simply practice or a space in which practice is possible in an open dedicated form. because you cannot build anything without space, and that is challenging when you are confronted with the commodification of space under capitalism however, i must bless my privilege here as this output has come a lot easier than it might for others I am grateful for this and hope to never take it for granted.

This web site will be and has been created on the many different lands of the first Australians of this land,  i pay my respects to all elders past and present, sovereignty was never seeded.

My deepest apologies to all the people, animal, plants and microorganism that make up our great ecosystems that have been destroyed in the process of modern privilege, i do not deny my part in this destruction and aim in my self and vicariously through this website to create a future that this destruction is no more.
