With a playful but critical edge, the exhibition invites visitors to question who controls meaning in an era where machines generate content, influence opinion, and shape reality. It challenges us to think about what counts as knowledge and whose knowledge is important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">As the line between fact and fiction thins, FACSIMILE is a timely reflection on power, perception, and a strange new logic of an artificial age.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover has-palette-color-7-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-31be9bd9d8fa997aaf2850be5d421daa\" style=\"min-height:212px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-palette-color-4-background-color has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.centrespace.org.uk\/whats-on\/facsimile-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Facsimile<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Open Daily:<\/strong> Friday 23 to Wednesday 28 May, 11am \u2013 5pm (Sunday 12 \u2013 4pm)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Centrespace Gallery &amp; Studios, Bristol&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/?q=6%20Leonard%20Lane%20Bristol,%20England,%20BS1%201EA%20United%20Kingdom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">(view map)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Private View: <\/strong>Friday 23 May, 8pm \u2013 10pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">What can we learn about ourselves from engagements with artefacts that challenge understandings of what counts as knowledge and whose knowledge is important.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Using a paradox (Schr\u00f6dinger, 1935) it becomes possible to consider that <strong>social reality can only exist in a liminal state until knowledge and nonsense are scrutinised<\/strong>.
