'every time we touch I get this feeling' began with the idea of astroturfing – fake crowds, crisis actors, stand-ins, psy-ops, and AI girlfriends. But it gradually shifted back towards screen-related concepts – avatars, anons, doom scrolling, portrait-mode viewing. We use the same devices to watch war videos, text, watch tutorials, join anonymous forums – constantly interact with screens, tracing our fingers, smudging them, and navigating through content quickly. Like an extra finger, a third eye, or a cloned voice. This exhibition brings together local artists from Naarm/Melbourne, Warrang/Sydney, Boorloo/Perth, and London-via-Sydney, who explore these ideas in creative, critical, and different ways. Opening night on Thursday 29 August from 6pm-8pm; all are welcome. Curated by: Audrey Jo Pfister
