WEPHOST #5, curated by WILLOW: The Digital Playground - Found, Not Lost
About this activity.
‘The Digital Playground: Found Not Lost’.
20 January 2024, 14.00 – 17.00
As WILLOW, we will partake in the WEP Host program for a 1-day event. The event, ‘The Digital Playground: Found Not Lost’ will consist of an artist talk with WERC Collective, followed by a Q&A session and a showcase of our new online exhibition space. Join us on January 20th at 14.00 to dive into a very pixel-packed event.
What is a digital archive? Where does our information go when we delete it? The artist talks aim to explore our ever-growing visual culture, new media art, AI, memes, and the joy buried in our digitalized lives. The digital playground wishes for the participants’ audience to converse. We aim to stimulate active audience participation with a critical and open attitude to the digital, new media & online. The program aims to create discourse as a first addition to our online research platform. The digital playground explores our ever-growing visual culture, new media art, AI, memes, and the joy buried in our digitalized lives.
The themes are related to WILLOW Online Art Space’s upcoming exhibition, ‘Search History’. The exhibition, and to an extent, The digital playground, will ask questions about digital archiving, e.g., how can we store our online history? What makes a digital archive? If digital information is not lost, thus found, is it ever-present?
