Echo Chamber

An exemple of an ‘Echo Chamber’ effect can be seen in social média where users engage only with people and media sources that share their particular beliefs and viewpoints. In this way the digital arts may sometimes seem like a medium which caters only to a specific tech savvy audience. Our aim is to create an accessible dialogue between the digital arts and its interpretation of politics, culture and society through technology to an European-wide public.

The parallel exhibitions, which mirror each other, will take place simultaneously across the three art centres in Ireland, Lativa and France. Six contemporary visual artists have been selected, two from each of the host countries, whose practice is rooted in various aspects of digital technology.

These artists will create new dialogues that challenge conventional views on politics and culture; pushing for an examination of our preconceived expectations of what contemporary art is and its relevance to the society we live in.

Featuring : Jeanne Briand, Adam Gibney, Fabien Leaustic, Helen McMahon, Raitis Smits and Paula Vitola
