Last year I was asked to choose a group of artists for the NGV Melbourne Triennial on the theme of 'The Virtual', and I am really pleased with the result. Each artist contributed a work or set of works, and a text to the online exhibition. Here they all are:
Morehshin Allahyari (@morehshin)'s 'Distributed Monument' ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition_pos… - 3D-printed recreations of sculpture destroyed by ISIS - alongside The 3D Additivism Manifesto ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition_pos… 
Ingrid Burrington (@lifewinning) and Meredith Whittaker (@mer__edith)'s sigils for the internet age, 'The Realm of Rough Telepathy' ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition_pos… is paired with Burrington's essay 'Living with our Daemons' ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition_pos… 
Kyriaki Goni's (@Kyra_Goni)'s speculative networks of data havens in the Aegean Sea ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition_pos… and her wonderful text 'Living on the sea surrounded by the sea' ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition_pos… 
Selected projects from Ian Alan Paul (@IanAlanPaul)'s Guantanamo Bay Museum of Art and History ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition_pos… are accompanied by Derek Gregory's essay 'The Black Flag' ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition_pos… 
Alan Warburton's (@CGWTF)'s 'Primitives' ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition_pos… explore AI and mob representation while his brilliant video essay 'Spectacle, Speculation, Spam' ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition_pos… dissects the artistic possibilities of digital, experimental animation 
Last/not least, Robert Yang (@radiatoryang)'s new game 'The Tearoom' ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition_pos… simulates cruising, anxiety, and police surveillance - while his counterpoised essay questions the idea that VR can really let you empathise with anyone else ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition_pos…
(While the exhibition includes works depicting violence -e.g. Richard Mosse's 'Incoming'- the NGV did not feel able to include the trailer for 'The Tearoom' in the exhibition. You can watch it online here: . It includes sexual acts performed on a handgun.)
I also wrote a short essay for the exhibition, on the exploration, exploitation, and perhaps the eventual elimination of The Virtual: ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition_pos… 
Other themes include Time, Movement, Change, and notably the Body, a great series of works curated by Hannah Black (@nanpansky). You can explore all the contributions here: ngv.vic.gov.au/triennial-voic…
I'm incredibly grateful to all of the participating artists for their contributions and discussions, as well as the NGV (@NGVMelbourne) for inviting me to put this together. Here endeth the tweets.
