Angelo Plessas's 'Mirage Machines' Exhibition Features Interactive Web-Based Artworks at Breeder Gallery
At Breeder gallery, Angelo Plessas unveiled his solo exhibition titled 'Mirage Machines,' featuring artworks that engage with interactive websites. The showcased works include MetaphorsOfInfinity.com (2012), BeforeEverything.com (2014), BonjourTristesse.com (2014), OnceInAThousandYears.com (2010), and SymmetryOfChaos.com (2009). The exhibition created an environment reminiscent of a digital temple, enhanced by chaotic wall projections. Plessas delves into themes of electronic autism, probing the dynamics between human connection and machine intelligence. His art investigates digital identities and relationships formed through screens, inviting tactile interaction via mouse movements. The exhibition encourages reflection on how screens shape perception and the sensory nature of internet experiences. It was featured in ArtReview's April 2015 issue.
