SPRING 2020 OPEN CALL FOR ONLINE RESIDENCY
DIGITAL HUMANITY
Digital humanities takes a transects of human history using new medium of investigation. Our cities thrives on multiplicity of meanings, the anxiety caused by over abundance of information makes us loose our sense of meaning. Art can be a guidance, a gps to sense-making and meaning making. Taking a long view, our legacies, for good or for worse will leave psychological and physical impact to future humanity.
Making sense is important for making decision today and for long term future. The sense of history is often daunting and uncompromising, so how can art and digital humanities offer us tool of higher malleability to produce meaning from evidence? Long term thinking at the dawn of this new decade starting 2020 is ever more relevant, in a world where art is becoming more and more short-lived, overly commercialising as some would argue, and criticise. Is there a long view to art making over the canvas of our digital humanity?
2020 will forever go in history as the once in a century pandemic. Everything we wish wouldn’t happen, happened. 2020 made us rethink everything, our economy, our priorities, our relationships, our job, our work, our studies. 2020 climate change, melting Antartica and cries of biocide have been drowned out by the web chatter of quarantine and rising infection. How will we remember 2020?
Now as all kinds of industry deepens their dependence on online platforms as well as the digital technology, we would like to invite artist to explore and examine all these ideas through participation, to share your voices through your work. Together, we will form a diverse conversation with many intellectual perspectives.
