Join us for a special screening event exploring sensory perception and altered states of consciousness on Friday 2nd September from 6:30pm! New Organs of Perception is a program as part of our current exhibition, Telepathine by Adele Wilkes, and features works by artists Ceri Hann and Bixiao Zhang.

The human being knows (themself) only insofar as (they know) the world; (they perceive) the world only in (themself), and (themself) only in the world. Every new object, clearly seen, opens up a new organ of perception in us.
—Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Ceri Hann presents Shh/utter-release, a performance lecture that seeks to zoom out of our online mediation through a surreal time-juggling of sculptural photographic assemblies, meta-metaphors and linguistic pretzels in an attempt to reframe the breakdown of the bi-cameral mind.

Drawing from her project “The ElectroPoetics”, Bixiao Zhang screens a series of video performances engaging with interconnected and entangled relations of media-user, exploring possible techno-ecological modes of co-creation reverberating, dreaming, and interweaving with/as the electronic nervous networks.
