‘Swell (2000)’, a three-channel video installation by Patricia Piccinini presented at Screen Space as the opening exhibition in a continuing series: ‘Topographic Resolutions’. This series of exhibitions will present significant video works, all older than 10 years, which incorporate computer-generated images in their production of landscape.
‘Swell (2000)’ focuses on the changing nature of space, commerce and migration through the vision of a turbulent but synthetic sea. It is part of a sequence of works by Piccinini entitled ‘Wilderness’ which examine the evolving concept of nature in contemporary technological society.
