from UTS Gallery:
Driven by developments in digital fabrication, today’s graphic designers are utilising unconventional materials and technologies to push the boundaries of their discipline. From robotic drawing machines, spot-welded posters to visuals that grow over time, Graphic Material explores this freedom through new and innovative works by local and international designers.
The hybrid practices featured in the exhibition will attract audiences across contemporary design, art and technology fields and be further explored in the accompanying public program. The lines between design disciplines, so long conceptualised in terms of their material output, are becoming increasingly blurred. The exhibition is an exploration of graphic design when freed from the constraints of paper and ink.
