International digital art show returns to QUT


Fresh from an exclusive preview exhibition in Yokohama, Japan, The Vernacular Terrain - an exhibition exploring environment, and political and cultural place - will be on show to Brisbane audiences for a limited time before heading to China for its final stop in an extensive 2007 tour.

This year's International Digital Art (IDA) project features over 45 national and international artists with an array of award-winning and premiere works crossing a broad practice of video, interactive media, installation and photo-media art.

With a focus on the Asia-Pacific region, the exhibition embraces the talents of leading Chinese artists like Maleonn and Cui Xuiwen (whose work is pictured left).

The print component is now open at QUT Art Museum, with the new-media element to open at The Block (Creative Industries Precinct) on 28 August.
