Electronic Pacific Group Exhibition

SOMArts Cultural Center presents Electronic Pacific, a group exhibition that investigates the impact of electronic and digital communication on intercultural exchange. Local and international artists with connections to the Pacific Rim transform shipping containers into installation spaces to showcase time-based media and electronic communications as transitional cultural space. These containers symbolize the mercantile routes that have defined intercultural exchange around the Pacific for many years, as well as the way culture is conveyed, packaged, and disseminated. Exhibited works deal with mixed and transnational geography, the mutability of language, and multiplicity in individual and community identity.
