Experimenta Playground re-invents the gallery space as an environment of surprise and delightful discovery. Each of the works selected is intrinsically playful and explores the notion that 'play is a means through which we are able to make sense of the world'

South Australians will have the chance to see a recent video artwork by award-winning Australian creator, Daniel Crooks who was recently awarded the prestigious $100,000 Basil Sellers Art Prize for his video artwork titled Static no. 11(man running).

Crooks’ work titled On Perspective and Motion - Part II (2006) is featured in Experimenta's national touring exhibition, Experimenta Playground.

The exhibition is a digital media playground of interactive artworks, video installations, short films and extreme art on screen by over 30 Australian and international artists.

Experimenta Playground is a free exhibition that promises an unforgettable
experience. This is contemporary art with a difference!
