Special Exhibition: VISIONS 2024
Experiments with Art and Technology
Curated by Meaghan Kent
Visions 2024 presents beautiful and compelling work that captivates and inspires, all while challenging preconceived conventions of art. Incorporating experimental photography as a foundation, Visions 2024 offers technological art as not just a trend but a continuously profound transformation that has reshaped our cultural landscape.
Visions 2024 highlights the transformative and creative fusion of art and technology in our current times. Artists are leveraging digital tools and AI to push the boundaries of traditional media, creating immersive experiences and innovative artworks. They continually craft dynamic, interactive pieces that engage audiences in new ways. Social media platforms like Instagram have become essential for artists to share their work, AI enhances physical artworks with 3rd and 4th dimensional features, and NFTs revolutionize the ownership and monetization of digital art. These new methods of presentation are redefining visual storytelling, allowing for an unprecedented expression of the world around us.
Creative possibilities are showcased through a rich variety of experiments, technology, and handmade interactions. dNASAb prints transcend 2D by being activated through QR codes. Richard Garet’s new oneiric series features hand-painted inspirations from AI sound devices, while Frank Hyder’s sound canoes, Artem Mirolevich’s prints, and Silvia Lizama’s painted photographs transcend time with an apocalyptic sensibility. Tiffany Trenda’s unique images, which incorporate AI software, also illustrate how technology can be manipulated to create profound works while questioning identity. Tincolini is the founder of TorArt, a contemporary art workshop that combines traditional craftsmanship with advanced technologies like 3D laser scanners and anthropomorphic robots to support leading artists. His marble sculptures exemplify the harmonious coexistence of art, craftsmanship, and science.
