Beta_space is an experimental environment where the public can engage with the latest research in art and new technology. space shows artworks in development by CCS researchers and collaborators at different stages, from early prototype to end product. It gives visitors to the Powerhouse the opportunity to be creatively involved in the development of new forms of artistic expression, and an
insight into the creative process of artists and technologists.

Time Smear and Time Slicer by artist Andy Polaine are part of a series of live video works called Time Sketches that experiment with interactivity and the viewer’s image. Using video processing technologies these works play with time, chopping it up into fleeting moments and stretching it out across space. The result is a digital hall of mirrors, where you can see warped versions of yourself.
