Reflection on Interconnectivity
What is the keyword for art in the digital age? We believe it’s interconnectivity. And while the whole concept of truth, authenticity, and ownership is being reshaped in the context of AI, it’s crucial to find ways to benefit from this interconnectivity.
At CIFRA, we’re creating a new immersive encyclopedia of media art, using Mise en Abyme as the core concept and approach. We’re building the platform and weaving the context around the artworks just like a canvas: all roles, entities, and practices are interconnected and integral to the overall picture.
Playlist is one of CIFRA’s main creative tools. We allow everyone to create and curate their very own digital space: just with one click, the artworks can be composed in thematic playlists. At Ars Electronica Gardens, we’re inviting everyone to create a playlist, mirror your inner world through engaging with digital art, and find like-minded creators — just the same way we do on our platform, but this time merging digital and physical spaces.
Community is the key. We strive to make art engaging and accessible for all by bringing artists, curators, art industry experts, and art lovers together and building engaging narratives.
