As technology continues to reshape the future of visual media, ArtScience Museum invites visitors to rediscover the tactile beauty of moving image. Opening on 16 November, Altered States: Experiments in Moving Image will showcase experimental analogue film, alongside immersive, large-scale installations.
Curated in-house by ArtScience Museum, Altered States explores material interventions in film that blur the lines between art, science and experimental cinema. Visitors will encounter a select group of local and international artists as well as filmmakers who push the boundaries of moving image by employing everyday materials, cameraless techniques, chemical and ecological processes in their experimental filmmaking practice.
Organised into two sections, Altered States begins with a short overview of historical examples of material experiments in analogue film, featuring the groundbreaking work of legendary filmmakers like Stan Brakhage and Len Lye and other prominent artists. It includes rarely seen footage and close-ups of scanned analogue film strips that set the stage for the more immersive visual experiences in the next part of the exhibition.
At the heart of Altered States are four striking film presentations by international and local artists who have left a mark in the industry.
