Robert Cervera, Hiddenware
We spend so much of our lives online via our smartphones, computers, televisions, and gaming consoles, but do we ever consider the vast physical infrastructures that underpin our digital experiences? The miles of undersea cables, the massive data centres, the mountains of cooling circuits, concrete and metal. In Hiddenware, artist Robert Cervera seeks to make visible this hidden materiality, inviting us to reconsider our relationship to the virtual world. Robert worked with local video gamers and musicians to co-create audiovisual performances, culminating in an exhibition that bridges sculpture, video, music and live streaming in the gallery. Includes live performances on Tue 14 Oct 2025, 7pm, and Sat 31 Jan & Sat 21 Mar 2026, 4 – 7pmRead more
