2002 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art: ConVerge: where art + science meet
The country’s longest-standing survey of contemporary Australian art.
ConVerge: where art + science meet surveys a range of artistic responses to questions about the future of technology, humanity and the sustainability of Earth’s biosphere. The artists represented are actively engaged with scientific research at the beginning of the 21st century. Hence, the 2002 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art explores some of the most fundamental issues facing modern Australia, through creative encounters with diverse systems of knowledge such as ecology, physical sciences, biotechnologies, Indigenous knowledge, information technology and cognitive sciences.
