"speed: a live satellite installation by Miriam Lloyd"
2003-03-13 until 2003-03-16
Australian Center for Photography
Paddington, NS, AU

For three days only, this innovative immersive installation by Miriam Lloyd will link ACP in real time to Olive Downs, near Tibooburra NSW.

Her exhibitions include Modern Medicine, curated by Damien Hirst and Charles Saatchi. Please note that the satellite link will only be open from Friday 14 March until Sunday 16 March 11am – 6pm.
