A "transporter" is a common science fiction trope, a teleportation machine that can instantly send an individual or object from one place to another, popularized most commonly in Star Trek, or The Fly. One hypothetical concern was its potential "accidents," in which the device might incorrectly materialize its source. Like in Mel Brooks' classic Space Balls in which a "microconverter malfunction" accidentally places Brooks' head on backwards, giving him a better view of his behind.

Enter Transporter, a group exhibition curated by Katie Shapiro and Sean Higgins at Los Angeles' Paul Kopeikin Gallery, which includes photography, video, and sculpture that addresses these lapses and distortions in transportational movement. 
The exhibition is up though June 17th, 2017.

I contacted curator Katie Shaprio to learn more about her and Higgins' ideas behind the exhibition.
