About this work

Description

"Flights of Reality parallels science in uncovering new route of thought,. Drawing on myth, science, empirical observation, information theories, and philosophy, the works oscillate between the familiar and the unknown, between revealed truths and imaginary worlds. The exhibition brings together new and recent work by five contemporary artists who pursue aberrant lines of thought to create competing versions of a world nudged from its everyday axis. The works could be described as thoughts in progress mapping out patterns of the possible, or the debris of ideas that remain in the collision between science and the everyday. In their creation of new or rival cosmologies, these playful and speculative works are reminders of the way in which we do not see the world."--From Preface.
