Cyber Culture MVG Virtual Exhibition 2023
Council is calling out to young artists across Southwest Victoria aged 12 – 25 to create artworks for the Moyne Virtual Gallery (MVG) as part of the Emerging Curators Development Program in response to the theme of ‘Cyber Culture’.
The theme of Cyber Culture is important and thought provoking. Questions are raised such as ‘How does the living in a digital era affect your day-to-day life?’, and ‘with access to an infinite amount of knowledge, communities and media, is the influence of the internet a positive, negative or both?’
We’re asking artists aged 12 - 25 from Southwest Victoria to think about this subject, create a piece that resonates with their personal relationship with the theme, and submit their artworks.
30 pieces will be selected to feature in the online exhibition curated by Rose Owen. Rose was successful in her application for the Moyne Shire Emerging Curators Development Program in 2022 and is curating this virtual exhibition.
Some prompts to consider:
- The rise in AI technologies
- Global connection & communication
- A place of freedom & self-expression
- Access to education & knowledge
- Online discourse, ‘cancel culture’
- Nothing is removed from internet history
We are looking for young artists between the ages of 12 and 25 living in Southwest Victoria to respond to the above prompts, showcasing talents in any medium.
Photography, Painting, Drawing, Sculpture, Textiles, Digital, Audio & Video are all accepted. This is a fantastic opportunity to have work viewed in an exhibition displayed in the Moyne Virtual Gallery, a space that is making art accessible to an audience across Victoria.
