'It's All Faintly Ridiculous': Pond Wade Through Dissatisfaction For Hope On 'Terrestrials'

A Masquerade Ball For Robots Comes To NGV Australia

Robots will be running loose in a new avant-garde exhibition fusing robotics, performance, art, sound and video.

Nostalgia For Obsolete Futures will showcase Dr Wade Marynowsky's unorthodox artistic practices and peculiar humour. 

A self-described 'anti-disciplinary' artist, Marynowsky has broken traditional gallery conventions, with the exhibition featuring a number of experimental works, including The Hosts, a live meet and greet between the visitors and several socially competent programmed robots. 

The free exhibition runs from 22 Aug - 19 Oct at Ian Potter Centre, NGV Studio.
