The artists selected for this exhibition observe human-made digital technology as it interacts with the natural world. Their works include computerized bivalves, botanical fakery, species séances, and vegetal matrices. Through the twisting tendrils of digital code, these artists render nature as both wild and programmed, toggling between responsive and impervious states.
The Digital Wilds is an exhibition of Cosmic Rays Digital, a new programming initiative of the Cosmic Rays Film Festival.
The artists selected for this exhibition critically engage with the new media technologies that surround us– technologies that threaten to ensnare us at the same time they promise to set us free– while investigating digital forms of privacy, identity, and nature.
