Have you ever wondered what It might be like to just rip off your face, just like.. rip it off? become a hypa-god, a demon-lord? Eternally now, Eternally hypa-present?.. Eternally phixed, phixated???
I’ll ask you once but I won’t ask you again. You are not present, you don’t experience, you fall at the rotational frequencies, do not come here…
You reflect light, you see aura, you burst light, you feel flora. Come the creatures, come the faithful fail from among the children. You are welcome here… Angel Plasma, Organ Fountain, speak OH spring song spirits, angels breath, exxtra spirit, accept force, come be with it.
The gig-economy rules us, owns us, develops a soul within ours, techno-c*nting-utopia, I eat my phone and it becomes…
Fangs of essence, nails for eyes, soft creatures present, absorb the cries.. Fluffy muffin, fluffy fluffy muffin puffin.
The Portal is open, throw in your dreams, throw in your angels + demons, it can only get better? Or hypa-phixatedly worse? Or maybe awe inspired beautifully hypa-crafted? CRADAPTED, HYPA-PHIXED, DOLPHIN-PLASTIC, GLASSCORE-TASTIC.
Souls upon flesh nor flesh upon souls, Welcome.

Interrestris Macrocosmus | 21 March - 7 April
![]()
Camille Dunlop / Gabriel Good / Ximming Cai
‘Interrestris Macrocosmus’ is a speculative Latin phrase, describing the ‘universes between earthly things’.
The exhibition addresses how we interface with digital landscapes. Rather than treating the tangibility of hyper realistic scenes, whether computer or oil paint generated, as ornamental, we believe it to be worth considering the consequences of the act of world-building, and our perceived proximity to the world rendered.
The works in this exhibition create new unearthly landscapes through re-embodying the act of physical craft while working in digital media. Through painting, choreographing, and sculpting a route from tactility to tangibility these artists reveal their relationships to physical environments, grasping the ephemeral and rendering it material in digital worlds.

The purpose of reimagining toyetic products’ physical existence is to reflect on real-life events such as Disney characters entering the public domain, the growing Otaku (Japanese; people with consuming interests in anime, manga, video games, or computers) and Hikikomori (Japanese; a form of severe social withdraw mostly on adolescence or young men) population since the 1980s’ Japanese sub-culture boom, and the rise of collectable toys craze around the same period. In a period where these factory-made objects can fetch hundreds of thousands, such as the Barbie auctioned in 2010 (sold for $302,500) at Christie’s, is a new reality being formed through people’s constant familiarity with the fictional? And with the accelerating production and profiting off of new characters, how will these currently existing characters be seen?
