Videotage is excited to announce the Online Exhibition of “Foundation - a Web3 Media Art Festival”, commencing on distant.gallery from 17 March!
In contemplating the potentials and the caveats of a “decentralized” internet as well as what it means for the art-world, FOUNDATION festival began by exploring contemporary works in the fields of NFTs, Artificial Intelligence, and Extended Realities. As part of FOUNDATION’s threefold programme, our experimental panel in Sept 2022 laid down the varied perspectives from renowned art practitioners, theorists, historians, scientists and technologists, to provoke and propel us into action. We have then paired 3 contemporary media artists with 3 academic laboratories that represent the three pillars of our investigation (Blockchain, AI, & XR), the synergy from which will come to bear fruit at our Showcase.
The online exhibition will show 3 commissioned works along with 12 artworks from international artists. At the opening reception, we are honoured to have a keynote speech by media theorist/artist Dr. Lev Manovich.
錄映太奇很高興宣佈：「未來史詩：Web3網絡媒體藝術節」展覽將於3月17日在distant.gallery展開！
「未來史詩」在思考去中心化互聯網的潛在可能和局限，以及它對藝術世界的意義時，探索NFT、人工智能和擴增實境等科技對當代藝術創作的影響。藝術節主要有三個部分，我們在上年9月舉辦的研討會，邀請五位著名藝術工作者、理論家、歷史學家、科學家和科技專家分享不同見解，為整個藝術節奠定基礎。其後把三位媒體藝術家和三個具代表性的學術實驗室配對作研究和委約創作，合作成果將於線上展覽中展出。
展覽呈獻3件委約創作及12件來自國際藝術家的作品。我們很榮幸邀請到媒體理論家、藝術家列夫．曼諾維奇博士在展覽開幕發表主題演講。
