SOMArts Cultural Center presents Electronic Pacific, a group visual art exhibition that investigates the liminal spaces of language translation, digital communication as a visual art medium, and trans-oceanic cultural exchange. Local and international artists with connections to the Pacific Rim transform shipping containers into installation spaces to showcase time-based media and electronic communications as transitional cultural space. These containers symbolize the mercantile routes that have defined intercultural exchange around the Pacific for many years, as well as the way culture is conveyed, packaged, and disseminated.

Project Space HEADLANDS CENTER FOR THE ARTS
In the most ordinary moments of experience our perceptions can shift from feelings of control, understanding and clarity to those of chaos, confusion and uncertainty. These unsettling transitions, from the concrete to the disjointed, from the expected to the unforeseen, lend us a peek into the potential madness or locura that lies just beyond the normalcy and routine of everyday life. The disorienting experience of translocura can be simultaneously humorous, unsettling or traumatic as ambiguity surfaces and confusion reigns.
In this exhibition artists chosen from Headlands’ 2013 Artist in Residence Award applicant pool attempt to fashion a sort of representation, a bold glimpse into the locura, offering varied perspectives on the uncertainty and pendejismo of everyday experience.
