“Smiling Antimatter” is a mixed media painting exhibition that will be featured at the Steam Whistle Brewery.
We heard the news. Scientists have finally produced mysterious antimatter atoms for the first time. We don’t know what it means, but we know that the future is here. We live in a science fiction world, a world our previous generation hadn’t even dreamed of. We converse with people on other continents face-to-face using video chat, watch movies on our cellphones and tweet our daily routine to everybody. How does it feel to be living and depending on high technology? What will tomorrow bring?
Each artist captures the anxiety underlying the experience of living in a science fiction-like society with humour and carnivalesque grotesqueness.
