The uncertain future and the Covid pandemic isolation are reflected on us in traditional art, where the digital and virtual arena has quickly become more significant for both creators and audiences. The virtual space provides opportunities for us to experience arts in a new way. The challenge is to bring artists and technology together for creative and innovative processes to emerge. We want to create meetings where the participants can explore nature and art as a healing force after the pandemic through the new technologies.
WORKSHOPS
On the 26th of August, there will be a full-day workshop where artists and tech companies will be matched. Then, on the 27th of August, a public presentation of works created during the cross-matching workshop will occur. Artists will get individual coaching through the process and digital material used for presentations and marketing. The purpose of competence development is to increase the artist’s individual awareness of new digital representation areas and create an international network and a cultural exchange.
ART EXHIBITIONS
Art exhibitions are organised in physical and digital formats.
CULTURAL TOUR
We will visit cultural sites in Blekinge county and taste local food for the best cultural experiences.
ADDED ACTIVITIES
We will make films during the event, take interviews before and after the exhibition. We want to create interaction between artists and the audience to create connections!
Participants are national and international artists from different disciplines and companies that offer new digital opportunities for artists to present their art.
PARTNERS AND SPONSORS
