THE DIGITIZED GLANCE – BEYOND REPRESENTATION
Since the dawn of the digital age the photo and videographic image have undergone a substantial change in production and processing, resulting in a profound shift in the perception of visual representation.
How do artists perceive and deliver the world using this not-so-new new medium?
What is, if one exists, the persistent visual language, that it defines?
Are artists only users of the new medium or do they play a vital part in the development of technologies?
Do images lie? Have they always? Do they do nowadays only? Is it all the same?
DARTFEST seeks to find out by inviting artists, designers, tinkerers and technologists to submit works that provides subtle and submerging, prototypical or provocative insight to these questions.
DARTFEST is open to all forms and formats, from print to performance, icon to installation, DARTFEST looks forward to receiving your submission!

Each entry exhibited will be awarded !
