Robbie Cooper: Immersion
Gallery Two
Friday 12 March 2010 - Sunday 5 September 2010
The work of photographer and video artist Robbie Cooper explores the issues surrounding the increasing exposure to contemporary media which many people experience on a daily basis.
From children playing video games, to young adults absorbed in horror movies, to people living out second lives through online virtual worlds, this exhibition documents the many ways in which people choose to disengage from everyday life.
