Experimenta Playground: Free media art exhibition

Experimenta Playground re-invents the gallery space as an environment of surprise and delightful discovery. Each of the works selected is intrinsically playful and explores the notion that 'play is a means through which we are able to make sense of the world'.

South Australians will have the chance to see a recent video artwork by award-winning Australian creator, Daniel Crooks who was recently awarded the prestigious $100,000 Basil Sellers Art Prize for his video artwork titled Static no. 11(man running).

Crooks’ work titled On Perspective and Motion - Part II (2006) is featured in Experimenta's national touring exhibition, Experimenta Playground.

The exhibition is a digital media playground of interactive artworks, video installations, short films and extreme art on screen by over 30 Australian and international artists.

Other Australian artists featured are: Shaun Gladwell, who has been invited to represent Australia at the 2009 Venice Biennale of Contemporary Art; Narinda Reeders; Jaki Middleton and David Lawrey; Priscilla Bracks, Gavin Sade and Matt Dwyer; Angela Barnett, Andrew Buchanan, Christian Rubino, Darren Ballingall, Chris MacKellar and Stelarc. International artists include: Philip Worthington; Fischli & Weiss; Hiraki Sawa; Marina Abramovic; Guy Ben-Ner and June Bum Park.

Experimenta Playground is a free exhibition that promises an unforgettable
experience. This is contemporary art with a difference!
