"This art show for the digital age is a catastrophic mix of the harebrained and the talentless - and it herals disaster for London's artisitic ambitions." - The Guardian
"A jumbled exhibition dealing with modern life in the digital age fails to impress." - Telegraph
The artworks on display presents a wide variety of media including painting, film and video, sculpture, drawing, sound and performance, artists in the exhibition are:
Mohammed Qasim Ashfaq, Michael Dean, Tim Etchells, Anne Hardy, Susan Hiller, Lloyd Corporation, LuckyPDF, Helen Marten, Ursula Mayer, Emma McNally, Karen Mirza and Brad Butler, Katrina Palmer, Pil and Galia Kollectiv, Laure Prouvost, Aura Satz, Hannah Sawtell, Lindsay Seers, Tai Shani, Daniel Sinsel, John Stezaker, Volumes Project and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye.
Mirrorcity doesn't seem to be about London, or storytelling, it is about the digital age that all the artists shows the information overload, the flood of images and the very short attention span of the technological future we've already arrived at.
