Electronic Pacific is a multi site visual art exhibition exploring trans-oceanic cultural exchange through digital communication and time based media. To facilitate this core idea and continue the location, distance and cultural collisions conversations SOMArts Cultural Center presents a multi-site exhibition in collaboration with Root Division and curated by Justin Hoover.
Electronic Pacific Satellite, will feature the work of local and international artists in the Root Division Gallery. This exhibition serves to facilitate a discussion about location, distance and the resulting cultural collisions at the edge of technologically driven communication around the Pacific Rim. The eleven artists and art collectives use video, installation, and wall pieces to explore issues pertinent to those with multiple identifications and cultural anchors.
While geopolitics and nationalistic identities evolved from a terrestrial understanding of cultural communities in relation to defensible land masses and geographical regions, today one could easily redraw new cultural maps, networks of security and avenues of communication due to digital telecommunications and a flat new world.
