Contemporary Art Exhibition: “Digital Natives”
TBC Concept Flagship at 7 Marjanishvili Street is hosting an exhibition “Digital Natives”, which brings together an international group of contemporary artists. This retrospective exhibition examines the effects of digital technologies and the internet on the production, distribution, and reception of art.
Probing the impact of rapid advancement in information, social media, immersive gaming, augmented reality, and AI, artists are responding to new possibilities of experiencing the world.
The title of the exhibition is drawn from a metaphor used by John Perry Barlow, a poet and internet activist, in his essay A Declaration of The Independence of Cyberspace. The term was later coined by writer Marc Prensky. Digital Native refers to a person who grew up in the information age under the ubiquitous influence of the internet and digital technologies. The opposite term would be Digital Immigrants - the generations who had to adapt to the rapid change brought on by the information age.
Artists in the exhibition:
Jon Rafman (Canadian) / Bogosi Sekhukhuni (South African) / Anna KE (Georgian) and Florian Meisenberg (German) / Nikoloz Kapanadze (Georgian) / Total Refusal Collective (Austrian) / Nima Bahrehmand (Iranian) / Ramin Roshandel (Iranian) / Tamar Gurgenidze (Georgian) / Tamo Jugeli (Georgian) / Qeu Meparishvili (Georgian) / Tezi Gabunia (Georgian).
The exhibition is curated by Nina Kintsurashvili.
The event will take place from October 28th, till December 28th.
