“Terrifying Noble Splendid” Exhibition
TEMP Art Space
This event has ended.
TEMP Art Space presents Terrifying Noble Splendid, a group exhibition that observes the intersection of the spiritual and technological. Utilizing pervasive forms of media, including digital archives, 3D animation and video games, the ten artists of this exhibition reimagine connotations of spirituality in today’s art.
Engaging with new media as a means for probing the spiritual in contrast to its often-cited predisposition to the utilitarian and rational, Terrifying Noble Splendid proposes deeper emotional considerations in art and technology. In approach of such large entities as spirituality and technology, the exhibition explores feelings of the sublime, the sensation of something larger than human comprehension. Immanuel Kant’s qualities of the sublime – the terrifying, noble, and splendid – serve as an entry point into where the spiritual and technological meet.
As Kant puts forth, “the sublime moves, whilst the beautiful charms.” The artworks of this exhibition are not meant to fully provide a sublime experience, but they do confront aspects of the feeling.
