This exhibition by Torontonian Cheryl Sourkes and Manchester’s twenty+3 projects sounds like digital art at its finest:

For nearly ten years Sourkes has explored material from Internet webcams. She captures their fleeting images and gives them an unexpected life off the screen. More recently she has paid particular attention to the cams of a specific webcam community with thousands of participants. Home Cams & Private Life, the two bodies of work in this exhibition, take images from this community as their source.

Featured Webcam is an exhibition full of information about the world. But as Sourkes says, “it is a world that is neither the real world nor the virtual one, but a space that participates in both”. Like a documentary photographer, Sourkes tracks this world. Her camera is other peoples web cams, her film the computer screen. The results are of ordinary life, specific, global, distant, alienated, full of great intimacies.

The exhibition, in a living room at 23 Bury Avenue, Whalley Range, Manchester, M16 0AT, is open 12-5pm every Saturday or by appointment. Contact h@heidishaefer.net for more information.
