The exhibition, titled Recorders, will feature 13 recent artworks including 3 which have been made exclusively for the Sydney show by Lozano-Hemmer. He is world renown for using robotics, real time graphics, motion capture, film projections, positional sounds LED screens and a range of other devices. His highly interactive and complex digital artworks have attracted acclaim all across the globe. The exhibition at the MCA will be no exception.

In keeping with the title of the exhibition, guests will be encouraged to leave traces of themselves through out the show. This could be anything from recordings of their voices or questions they have long wanted answers. These are in fact necessary for the exhibition to take full form.
