OptiChiasma was a group exhibition by Svenja Kratz, Michelle Oxenham, and Lucille Korponay held at Metro Arts in Brisbane in 2003. The exhibition focused on themes of convergence and information transfer, drawing a conceptual parallel with the optic chiasma in the human brain where optic nerves intersect. This biological metaphor of convergence mirrors the artists' creative process: just as visual information crosses and separates before entering the brain’s visual cortex, ideas and images similarly converge and diverge in the journey toward completed artworks.

Svenja Kratz’s contributions included oil paintings and mixed media/digital prints that examined the increasing role of technology in shaping self-concept and subjective experience. Her works, grouped under two series—Hybrid Selves and Outdoor Furniture—explored how technology influences our perceptions of reality and identity. By weaving together the biological with the technological, Kratz’s works highlighted the fluid boundaries between human experience and technological mediation, underscoring how emerging computing technologies redefine our understanding of self and reality.
