What's On

Welcome to the online exhibition of Manifested Tectonic! The original exhibition was to be installed physically with live performances in Slocum. With the unexpected circumstance under Covid-19, a series of shows are now curated under this virtual platform. Disembodied objects and people are orchestrated in a digital plane in Rhino then exported to Google poly as a way to guide the viewers through the tour. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional representations here are overlaid with each other, rethinking about the spatiality that drawings possess in a digital realm. Space here is an ongoing possibility of a different inhabitation, suggesting open-ended way of reading narratives and spatial relationships in this performance.
