Cathode Ray Mission

New Display Strategies and Waterside Project Space present
Cathode Ray Mission which takes its title from David Cronenberg's cult classic 1983 film Videodrome.

Still from Videodrome, 1983

Cathode Ray Mission creates a fictional environment in which to display artists' video. With its technologically redundant display equipment, ad-hoc office architecture and low-budget aesthetics, the strategy stands in opposition to the mundane, yet readily available, platforms for exhibition.

Cathode Ray Mission includes works by Tom Badley, Rob Kiff, Daniel White, Amanda Wasielewski, Richard John Jones and Jack George, each shown in an upholstered office cubicle, amongst which the audience move as in a labyrinth.
