Exhibition

#networks2020 draws upon an interwoven tapestry of works—networks—across communication, design, history, homelessness, information systems, installation art, media, newspapers, photography, textile arts, and visual arts. It draws on information in its broadest context including adaptation, books, documentary, prints, sculptures and installations, resilient systems, time-based art, physical and virtual environments, as well as juxtapositions of analogue and digital works.
