Join curator and <a href="https://www.arebyte.com/" title="https://www.arebyte.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">arebyte</a>'s new Head of Programmes, Pita Arreola, for a guided tour of (This room is a sculpture called) PROPHECY. The evening offers a closer look at pioneering multimedia artist Auriea Harvey's newly commissioned works, unpacking the exhibition’s themes, influences, and the use of emerging technologies.Harvey’s first solo exhibition in the UK, PROPHECY is an allegorical rendering of a spiritual journey, charting a course to reclaim grace and unity amid a landscape of disconnection and collective suffering. At its core lies a deep yearning for empathy amongst fractured societies.These themes resonate with the concerns of British mystic, artist, and poet William Blake (1757–1827), who more than two hundred years ago created a series of engraved prophetic books that in their own interdisciplinary capacity combined poetry and vivid imagery. Rooted in his exposure to London’s rapid and exploitative urbanisation and his visionary experiences, Blake came to view himself as a prophet, using his art to critique the moral, political, and spiritual conditions of his time.Imbued with the same radical charge, PROPHECY carves its own mystical immersive system through a pollination of figures from Catholic faith with epic tales drawn from Greek mythos. The resulting exhibition is constructed as a mythic technological infrastructure made up of individual and interconnected digital artworks that are suggestive of religious architecture. This spatial arrangement, along with the presence of saintly figures in the galleries, seeks to evoke a moment of introspective reflection in the audience. Through this composition, Harvey presents the virtues and flaws that characterise a society ruled by technological frameworks, and invites us to explore the potential of spirituality and collective human action to emancipate oneself from algorithmic control.Read more about the exhibition <a href="https://www.arebyte.com/auriea-harvey" title="https://www.arebyte.com/auriea-harvey" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here.</a> Following the opening, the exhibition is open to public from Wednesday to Sunday, 12 - 6pm until 21 December 2025.
