In Other Worlds: Beyond Measure

A group exhibition at Orleans House Gallery featuring videogames, performance, films, and installations by students from the Information Experience Design MA at the Royal College of Art.

Private View will be on Saturday 16 May at 14:00, with a performance at 14:00, followed by film screenings and a visit to the installations.
Exhibition opening times:
Friday 15 May, 14:00–16:30

Worlds do not arrive fully formed. They unfold in the gaps of what we notice and what we overlook. They are held in place by grids of infrastructure, measure and control, organising movement, perception and value.
But they can change when a story leans a little differently, when a thought takes an unexpected turn, when attention drifts towards what refuses to be counted.
Here, the grid hesitates. Those neat lines of measure loosen, and other shapes begin to appear. Shapes that do not ask to be efficient, profitable, or absolute.
In these openings… 
Neglected ecologies begin to speak back. Environments and more-than-human relationships emerge as active participants in shaping shared worlds. 
Hidden infrastructures of power surface, revealing the quiet systems through which we are often unknowingly controlled by. 
Embodied experiences inscribe themselves onto the self, unfolding through gesture and time. 
Speculative worlds emerge, different logics take hold, as the terms of reality are redefined.
Together, the works we present in this exhibition ask what worlds become possible when we step, however briefly, beyond measure.
