 Resulting from Internet communication technology, new hybrid spaces are emerging.
Through the emergence of cyberspace, we are able to think about space, time and identity in other ways. Unlike face-to-face communication, a disembodied relationship in cyberspace enables a flexibility of identity and the ability to transcend our traditional notions of space and time.
But where is it? This place does not exist on any physical level. Bodily, the only space occupied is in front of your computer. So it seems that, entirely in your head, this place can be traveled to and endlessly explored, whilst the geography covered and people encountered are not imagined but real.
Whether or not cyberspace is an internal or an external space, it is not somewhere we can actually physically be, and it is this remarkable place that Julie Hoyle endeavors to locate in her light and shadow box installations and hybrid ink-jet and screenprints.
