Dark Euphoria (2011)

Summary compile of video documentation of Mitch Goodwin's exhibition Dark Euphoria: Unclassified Media at the eMerge Media Space, Townsville, Australia in September 2011.

The exhibition explores of the darker tendencies of the contemporary digital aesthetic and the larger meta-narrative of the mass media network in this period of millennial change. Featuring photography, video remixes of contemporary screen culture, multi-channel video works, image manipulation, glitch art and electronic music the exhibition is also accompanied by a web portal for extra content and work-by-work deconstructions (http://darkeuphoria.info). The exhibition space and the web content seek to unpack the darker tendencies in the modern mediascape and to tease out links and synergies with the previous century’s techno-futurist obsessions.
