Curatorial Statement:

Net art works will challenge the users to think about the state of our world, how technology is reconfiguring our concepts of self within society, language, heritage, healthcare, politics, the economy, the human body and art practice, thus, its powerful effects on us all and our future selves. This exhibit demonstrates how self ‘image’ relates to social evolution and transforming the physical and conceptual interaction users have with technology and how it affects them in their daily lives, within their community. The works will highlight the change individuals and society are currently facing, emphasizing the role that media artists play help usher in positive change instead of the potential negative, exploring how artists can and do subvert and challenge this transformation. This show will also expose the similarities and differences that exist between media artists in different areas of the world and how geography, ethnography, technology, tradition and culture all play into a greater discourse on art and media today.
