Colour Calibration imagines the grammar of a moderated virtual reality. Its lexicon of icons, symbols, and actions feels familiar yet estranged, hinting at a world that is both tethered to ours and entirely fabricated. Within this invented space, norms are enforced, gestures are coded, and participation is policed. The act of “calibration” here is not simply a technical adjustment but a form of governance, a way of setting the parameters of experience and deciding what counts as real.
At once dazzling and disquieting, the collage critiques the hidden architecture of digital life. It asks: who holds the power to calibrate our perceptions, and who designs the rules that shape interaction? In true Paperpunk style, Colour Calibration turns glossy surfaces into a charged commentary on power, spectacle, and control. Witty, bold, and layered with tension, it is a compelling addition to any collection seeking art that probes the edges of our mediated world.
This work was exhibited in CONTENT, a 2024 solo exhibition at Braemar Gallery in Springwood, New South Wales. Within the exhibition it resonated as an incisive reflection on the governance of digital culture, part of a broader exploration into how contemporary life is staged and mediated.
