An exhibition of digital animation, video, illustration and sound, Option Escape is an opportunity to consider the digital utopias and dystopias created by new media artists. Whilst a broad range of artistic styles and concerns will be represented, the artists are linked through their use of new media platforms, as well as their shared preoccupation with popular media.

Everyone needs to take the option to escape sometimes it’s good to get away. Whilst Option Escape does not offer the Contiki-style ‘cocktails and cruises’ mode of escapism, we do offer you the chance to look at and listen to diverse interpretations of living. Think of it as a day spa for daydreamers.

Come along and make sweet music with the ‘Pop-Electric-Wet-Dream’, trip the light fantastic through a contemporary phantasmagoria, and marvel at the evangelical wonder that is Brown Keith.
