'I miss you, Blockbuster' seeks to present a number of works that confront how the internet and the evolution of the screen has fundamentally changed society and how it functions, distorting viewing habits and re-aligning our bone structures. From voyeuristic narcissism to an internet detox, the artists involved explore ways to combat the acceleration of technological reproduction whilst commenting on the web 2.0 landscape of today and the multiverse of tomorrow.
