In a world full of gloriously distracting eye candy, we rarely get beyond what we're looking at to notice how we're actually seeing it. In Judith Fegerl's three-part exhibition sight itself becomes the main attraction. Using flashing lights, laser projection and computer animation, the installations imitate and obscure vision. Animations of "floaters" swim across a ceiling and red lasers create a mesmerising web of light filaments when shone through the artist's used contact lenses. In a dark room, beams flare and sear into your retinas, causing momentary blindness. Listen to your mum: don't look directly at the light.
