Synthetica and Alterica

- Silicon Valley International Contemporary Art Review Exhibition

In an age where technology permeates every aspect of our lives, Synthetica and Alterica invites artists to explore the evolving relationship between artificial intelligence and the human experience. This is not merely an exhibition but a reflection of the complex interplay between innovation and identity in our increasingly digital world.

We seek to showcase works that question how technology is reshaping our understanding of creativity, identity, and otherness. Synthetica represents the seamless integration of technology and artistic expression, a merging of human and machine that pushes the boundaries of what we consider possible in the creative realm. Alterica, on the other hand, delves into concepts of exclusion and difference, exploring how technology both connects and isolates, creating spaces of belonging while also reinforcing divides.

The online media exhibition runs January 15–February 15, 2025.
