An Exhibition of Spectacular Participation in Eye-Teasing 3D

About

Joe Upton presents an eclectic range of works using 3D Film and Mixed-Media. In this week long exhibition Upton invites the audience to engage in ‘pseudo-activities' which break the conventional roles of spectatorship through an immersive 3D Film installation and participatory Paint-By-Numbers. Inspired by the avant-garde movement of Situationism, Upton transposes the theory of The Society of the Spectacle to the modern day. He questions our role as producers and consumers of culture and explores themes of novelty value, pop culture and commodity fetishism. The Culture of Commodity: Part installation, part visual culture; this unique 3D Film experience plays with the notion of gimmick, alluding to the detrimental effects of our consumerist obsessions. Man By Numbers: An audience participatory Paint-By-Numbers that encourages social and cultural interaction allowing visitors to contribute their creative expressions towards a communal finished piece. 3-Deerectives: Eye teasing Mixed-Media prints that highlight the fragmented and referential nature of our ideas and inspirations
