Opening on September 13th at the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art is “The Missing Distance” by Jordan Hill.
In the Alternator Main Gallery is Halifax based artist Jordan Hill. Hill is a Coast Salish (T'Sou-ke Nation) new media artist whose practice focuses on the blurred distinction between fact and fiction in modern culture. His work questions how we navigate a spatially manipulated world where truth is incredibly difficult to locate both physically and virtually. He juxtaposes unexpected ideas and seemingly unrelated locales, uncovering the intersections between urban and rural facades in ways that transform how we think about both.
Through his innovative use of technology and virtual imagery, Hill invites viewers to reconsider their relationship with the world around them. His work aims to intervene normalized social and spatial assumptions we make upon being introduced to spaces, and in what ways we allow the artificial to undermine our own intuition.
“The Missing Distance” will be on view in the Alternator’s Main Gallery from September 13 - October 26, 2024.
