The Spectacle Project
David Cubby's exhibition is concerned with the history of optics, through both text and image.
The exhibition is comprised of three short films, Optic Lingo, Drown Optics and Optical Scream, as well as digital prints which are stills from these films.
'Prevalent within western culture, 'seeing' becomes a euphemism for 'understanding' and it is dangerous. Photo media generally provides a dominant aesthetic, affecting thought, language and culture. Each work within 'The Spectacle Project' is intentionally hypnotic, subverting mass psychosis distanced from reality, induced by filtered viewing through optical-electronic time and space.'
