Constructing the Invisible: Systems, Structures, and Spaces

  • Free
  • Art

Focusing on materiality, perception, and technological innovation, this exhibition investigates how design principles – organisation, repetition, structure, and transformation – can reveal deeper insights into human experience, identity, and the built environment. It's core question is 'How can design serve as a lens to visualise and experience systems that are typically invisible or imperceptible?' These systems range from digital algorithms and architectural forms to cultural patterns and psychological frameworks. Each artist engages with this theme using a diversity of materials and methods that bridge traditional and digital techniques.

Group exhibition featuring works by Jacob Leary, Jay Kochel, James Parrett and Zac Koukoravas.

This event is part of Melbourne Design Week, an initiative of the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.
