By manipulating the architecture of communication, ComLink, an exhibition of new work by Jana Brevick, aims to identify the elements of human nature and interaction through the systems and devices created to enhance it.
Note: A comlink is a portable device from the Star Wars films that transferrs voice signals from one location to another. (source: Wookieepedia)
Note 2: This is neither an exhibition about Star Wars, nor Sci-Fi, but the artist cannot deny a certain regard and affinity for both subjects and their influence on popular culture, science and the dreams of the average person.
