HYPERSPECTRAL is an exciting initiative by PhotoAccess – Canberra’s hub for contemporary photography, film, and multimedia – that will transform the Manuka Arts Centre gardens into a vibrant display of dynamic digital and sound artworks. Featuring local, national, and international artists working at the forefront of emergent technologies, this event is a must-see experience. Join us on the evening of Saturday, 8th July, from 5-9 pm, for a diverse program celebrating the fusion of creativity, experimentation, art, and science.

Now in its second year, this edition of HYPERSPECTRAL explores the theme of “Rebirth” at the intersection of creative experimentation, technology, and new media. From mythological and spiritual rebirth to technological advancements and environmental revitalisation, our artists’ interpretations are as diverse as they are thought-provoking.

Transcending the boundaries of the conventional white-cube gallery, HYPERSPECTRAL integrates space, light and sound, providing a transformative and immersive experience that stimulates the senses. Witness the harmony of technology and art in a way that challenges conventional perceptions and offers fresh, forward-thinking ideas.

BentSpoke Brewing Co., the official sponsor for PhotoAccess, will be on-site to serve an array of delicious beverages, setting the mood for attendees to enjoy sets from local DJs while bathed in sound and light.

As a highlight of Canberra’s newest major festival, Uncharted Territory, HYPERSPECTRAL positions our talented contemporary artists within a broader community of exceptional innovators. This unique audio-visual event represents an exploration of the limitless potential for growth, transformation, and renewal in our ever-evolving world. Don’t miss this unique event blending art, science, and transformative ideas that genuinely pushes the boundaries of creative exploration.
