IMT is proud to announce the return of Cyborg, last seen in the harrowing Quantum Loop season finale from 2020, with the launch of John Powell- Jones’s Cyberjunk: Quantum Crash at the gallery in October 2021!
About
Cyberjunk: Quantum Crash is an exhibition about forming a dialogue between the present and an imagined dystopian future in which the horror of capitalism and neoliberal ideology are presented as cyborgs, demons and maggots. Who is the mysterious Cyborg? Why are they in two places at the same time? The answers arrive in exhibitions at IMT Gallery, London, and Castlefield Gallery, Manchester, presenting Cyborg’s adventures outside of chronological order; the same characters, a cross-over storyline, two different timelines...
“Cyberjunk deals with themes of perception, power structures and personal reality in an ongoing study into how the warped Western view on progress and success acts to inform our perception of morality” says Powell-Jones. These ideas are explored through speculative fiction played out through video, performance and installation, taking inspiration from European folklore, body horror, survival horror and science fiction. Plus, it’s a great opportunity to explore the all-new Quantum Loop Playset with key Cyberjunk characters!
Cyberjunk: Quantum Crash opens at IMT from 8 October to 19 December 2021. Preview: Thursday 7 October 7 - 10pm. Cyberjunk opens from 17 October - 19 December 2021 at Castlefield Gallery, Manchester.
