Experimenta Playground (ATOM Study Guide)

Experimenta Playground is a media art exhibition that invites you to leap into a world of innovative and playful artworks by Australian and international artists. A meeting place for technology and creativity, the exhibition comprises artworks that beckon you to touch, feel and interact in surprising and inspiring ways. Through the exploration of play, these artworks encourage us to consider social behaviour, identity, the real versus the imagined, the material versus the immaterial and the role of play in our lives.

This year, Experimenta celebrates twenty-one years as a leading Australian contemporary arts organization. Experimenta is dedicated to promoting media art through a vibrant program of exhibitions, screenings, commissions and tours. Experimenta Playground is the latest in a series of biennial media art exhibitions that are launched in Melbourne and then tour nationally. These exhibitions attract a broad cross-section of people and large audiences because of their engaging themes and inherent accessibility.
