PROJECT SUMMARY:
Today, when we witness a clear gap between technological progress, social challenges, and global crises, we should also step back and recognize current problems, similarities and paradigms that can provide valuable guidance for future transformations.
The works of art that will be shown at the exhibition in the Kortil gallery raise questions and raise awareness of unstable positions in contemporary society, which is constantly changing under the influence of various crises (climatic, health, economic, war). The Glowing Globe exhibition, with the subtitle Changes and Challenges, wants to investigate in what way and how a set of contemporary problems are reflected in innovative artistic practices, and which current artistic narratives are possible responses to global crises.
The works that will be presented at the exhibition relate to digital art like 2D digital and 3D prints and sculptures, 360 video, video animation, virtual and augmented reality, sound art and contemporary performance.
Along with the exhibition, as a side program, a symposium will take a place at the University of Rijeka, to bring together artists, experts in digital technologies, philosophers and other theoreticians who will contribute to a better understanding of the wider social context with an interdisciplinary approach.
