Augment: 'an increase, growth'

In a unique collaboration between multidisciplinary artist Ellie Niblock and Gallery Explorers, Augment offers a tangible link to the digital and imaginary. The virtual installation is a new kind of garden, linked to our physical space. It utilises experimental ways of creating to enhance our community through the addition of a 'green space' where we can reflect and explore. The work is a playful foray into the ways in which children create uninhibitedly, and serves as a reminder of the value of process and play for our mental health. Augment serves as a permanent time stamp of both our current technology and the individual Explorers' creative decisions at this specific point in time.

In addition to the garden, Augment also presents three new sculptural works by Ellie Niblock which reflect on the possibilities of how materiality and technologies can alter our perception of experiences. Niblock creates highly decorative and tactile objects and manipulates them through various software to investigate the relationship between the digital and physical worlds.
