Screen

We trace the history of the screen, from the laterna magica through cinema and television to computer monitors and flat-screen displays. The exhibition explores this theme through works – from the 1970s right up to the present day – that utilise and interpret this medium and technology. Students and lecturers from Metropolitan University are contributing to the realisation of the exhibition and the educational programme.
