WETWIRED in the MEATSPACE invites you to dip your toes into the slipstream of reality between screen and substance, between science and superstition—where the beautiful and bizarre are transformed from the digital imagination into fleshy manifestations. In this exhibit, artists conjure alternate realities in which beach trash and aliens are one and the same, microscopic worlds become inhabitable, dream monsters walk the earth, and meat is grown in outer space. Through experimental research methods, these artworks link our perceived environments to unseen social architectures and endeavor to “make sense of it all.”

Co-curated by Emily Bright, Kat Jarvinen, and Hannah Suzanna.
