Virtual Intrigue & Ephemeral Ruptures, 2025

Curated by Dolleen Tisawii’ashii Manning & Mary Bunch

Virtual Intrigue & Ephemeral Ruptures is an exhibition featuring works in digital media and electronic literature that activate the poetics of fractured worlds. The artists invite spectators to move between worlds of enchantment and horror, virtual and tangible, static and ecstatic. These fissures arrive from somewhere else, the past, the future, or some imaginary place and time. They hint at new worlds yet to come, while the dead stir in their graves. This collection of sensory digital poetry, immersive and interactive art works experiment with disruptive and emergent technologies. Fittingly situated in the Foster Performance Studio, the boundary between spectator/participants sensing moving bodies and the artworks is breached.
