DOCUMENTS OF THE WEB 2.0, A VIBRANT VISION OF MORE-THAN-HUMAN MUTUALISMS

Thursday, November 9th, 2023

The exhibition marks the culmination of the research and visual practice generated throughout Susana G. Larrañaga’s PhD in Digital Arts, which investigates the toxic and the Web 2.0.

Using an imaginary of the ruderal, of disturbed landscapes and their organisms, this post-digital exhibition brings forth a material and plural view of online and offline more-than-human relations. Reflecting on the accumulative toxic emergence of the Web 2.0: materially and psycho-socially polluting, online conspiracy theories concomitant to the pollution of mineral extraction.

Utilising a predominantly rubble-based artistic practice, which reversely mines data streams, Documents of the Web 2.0 explores anti-social practices online while shifting vision to anthropogenic landscapes. The artworks, which generate tension between medium and content, highlight the luxurious materiality of the digital and our current posthuman condition.

SOUND/IMAGE 2023

Wednesday, November 8th, 2023

SOUND/IMAGE 2023 brings together a selection of international artists who embrace ideas of collaborative processes and shared creativity. While the individual artworks and installations take on board a wide range of conceptual concerns, they all explore the relationships between sounds and images, and the images which sounds can construct by themselves. The exhibition will run from 10th November until 16th December, 2023.

Special installations by Tony Hill and Christopher Speed will also be open for a limited time to the public from 10-7:30 on 11 November and 10 – 6:30 on 12 November. 

In addition to the exhibition, the SOUND/IMAGE Festival 2023 includes an intensive 4 day conference taking place 9th – 12th November. From over 340 submissions, the programme of complementary talks, screenings, loudspeaker orchestra concerts, and performances – bringing together composers, filmmakers, electronic musicians, live visual performers, researchers from all over the world to stimulate discussion, debate and engage diverse perspectives and new insights on sound and audiovisual practice.

To celebrate the publication of the new book on sonic creativity “Art of Sound: Creativity in Film Sound and Electroacoustic Music” and the launch of our new creative practice research facilities the “Shared Hub for Immersive Future Technologies” this 2023 edition of the festival celebrates works responding to the theme “Creativity Shared”.

SPECTRUM

Monday, September 11th, 2023

This year’s post-graduate exhibition Spectrum is a celebration of the powerfully diverse subject interests and practices resulting from a year of intense study at Greenwich.  On both the MA Digital Arts and MA Design, these creatives have worked across a massive range of concepts, technologies, and materials which often times combine and mix to form something unexpected.  They are also a group from diverse backgrounds, nationalities and cultures – something that has provided a huge scope for discussing ideas and works from real world perspectives. Learning through making is key to these Masters, and experimentation and practice-led research has given them practical ways of developing new methodologies within their practices. Across all the entire exhibition it is very evident that there is a strong desire to bring the digital into the physical world which in turn truly initiates a public facing conversation through their work. It is with great pleasure that we present Spectrum 2023

MA Digital Arts works by: Maksym Poda, Stergiani Siourtou, Diana Pinhão, Yomi Adebayo, Andreas Arany-Toth, Nihal Bhunjum, Inna Halasyova and Irtaza Ali Siyed.
