Where:
The Film Archive & Viewfinder, Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Aotearoa NZ.
Description:
A moving image exhibition that revolved around themes of alienating movements and luxurious leisure activities. Exhibition text: "Tips for car-sickness:\nApparently if you feel car sick you should focus your attention on things in the distance. They move slower than things that are closer to the car. I don't know\nhow this trick makes you feel less nauseous, or why you're less likely to feel car sick when you sit in the front seat. Maybe in the front seat, you can see further\ninto the distance because your facing the same direction the car is going.\nInstead of the back seat where you mostly look out of the side windows, where things zoom by. Amazingly, the driver is never affected. I think this is because\nthe driver can anticipate what motions the car is going to make, as they tend to correspond with their decisions to turn the wheel or press the brakes/ accelerator. The passengers are one step behind."
