Ghost in the Machine is an exhibition that brings together artists Celacious666, Rainer Ciar, Fei Gao and Kalanjay Dhir, whose shared interests in avatars and embodiment were born from fiction and digital cultures.

Reliving memories and emotions through roleplay by creating costume, illustrations and fan work, the artists manifest alternate personas and characters that give body and form to psychological landscapes.

On now until 28 June at the Judith Wright Arts Centre gallery.
