Art, pattern and complexity

Artists are exploring ideas about pattern and complexity that draw on the latest scientific and mathematical theories. Their paintings, installations and interactive artworks feature mesmerising optical patterns and digitally-generated complex behaviour. The exhibition coincides with the March issue of Artlink magazine on Art, Pattern and Complexity.

Exhibition open from 16 February – 16 May 2012, 10am – 5pm  Monday to Friday. Open later during RiAus events

The exhibition officially launches as part of Adelaide Fringe 2012 on Tuesday 28 February.
