A three-day public showcasing event and exhibition in culmination of the [Digital] Transmissions II, artist residency program by Factory / the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts.
The event and accompanying art exhibition will present digital art projects developed by the program participants across visual, sound, performance, and public arts. The showcase will also feature artworks by five program mentors from Jordan and the UK, the MetaFour Artist Collective, as well as guest contributions from local musicians and performance artists.
This year’s edition of the [Digital] Transmissions annual program focused on the theme of decolonialism, approached from a futuristic standpoint, prospectively engaging with questions concerning applications and ethical implications of Artificial Intelligence on human consciousness, subjectivity, and agency. Questions surrounding identity, heritage, and emancipation are among the overarching notions that the artists of this edition explore in their digital artworks.
