Now in its fourth year, HYPERSPECTRAL26 returns to the Manuka Arts Centre gardens for a vibrant night of dynamic digital, new media, moving image and sound artworks!

We are seeking local, national and international artists working at the forefront of emergent technologies to contribute to a diverse program celebrating the fusion of creativity, experimentation and art.

HYPERSPECTRAL26 is centred around the themes of system error, post-aesthetic, interference and dirty data. We invite submissions that slip, stutter, distort and leak, encouraging artists to explore various interpretations of these themes and showcase the imperfections and residue of machine-made media.

This event offers valuable exposure, networking opportunities, and the chance to be part of a unique community of innovators.

Successful artists will receive a $500 AUD stipend.
