Welcome to Face to Face, an Asialink and d/Lux/MediaArts touring exhibition where you are invited to explore the work of fourteen Australian artists who provide a unique and engaging perspective on how digital technologies are reshaping our understanding and experience of contemporary identity.

Covering a variety of media from digital photography to video and interactive installation, you are encouraged to investigate these questions and form your own opinions.

A range of online resources to aid you in this process are available at dlux.org.au/face2face/asialink. Here you will find a specially developed education kit and comprehensive artist information, as well as insightful essays by curator Kathy Cleland and head curator at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Anthony Bond who links key portraiture themes in a surprising trajectory of ideas from Rembrandt through to reflections on the self in the virtual world of Second Life.

It is an intriguing and timely exhibition for which we thank and acknowledge the artists, curator, writers and our project supporters for providing us all with an opportunity to encounter emerging forms of portraiture in this new digital age.
