Call For Entries ART/TECH:interface at ARC in December

INTERFACE: [N. IN-TER-FEYS; V. IN-TER-FEYS] 1. A COMMON BOUNDARY OR INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN SYSTEMS, EQUIPMENT, CONCEPTS, OR HUMAN BEINGS.

Juried by Jan Tichy

  Technological advancements have expanded exponentially over the past several decades. This explosion has impacted all aspects of our lives and experiences from every day personal uses of technology, to developments in medicine effecting our survival, to new discoveries and changing perceptions of our universe and beyond.

The relevance to our culture is undeniable. It has altered and adjusted the way we interact, receive, interpret and share information. Has this changed our perceptions of what art is? How has this informed an artist’s perceptions, expressions, or interactions with the world and their art?

This juried exhibition invites artists to submit work that investigates, discusses, or is influenced by these issues. Submitted work can:

• Address the issue of cultural impact as a concept • Use technology as a medium for a creative concept • Is directly informed by technology though might not necessarily use technology within the

artwork itself or as a sole means of expression. • Focuses on how technology has altered artists’ perception of their vision and work

All media will be considered. Please read the sections on Submission Requirements / How to Submit Work, and Acceptance Requirements before beginning submission process.
