Public Space_s, this year’s theme at the Athens Digital Arts Festival

My work ScareMail will be on exhibit at the Athens Digital Arts Festival from May 21-24. Held in the center of Athens, Greece at the Diplareios School, the Festival’s theme is Public Space_s, highlighting …

the various aspects of “public” both in the digital and physical space. In our times, the notion of public space appears to be one of the most contradictory concepts while the rise of network and communication technologies has changed our experience of public space. Public space is not only characterised by physical space and architecture but also by networks and knowledge distribution. In this framework, we seek to redefine the multiple interconnected spaces within which we act and raise new questions in relation to the information age.

In addition to the exhibition I’ll be giving an invited artist talk on the evening of May 22. The festival program is directed by Katerina Gkoutziouli and the Webart section is curated by Foteini Vergidou.
