Homeostasis Lab - Novo Tempo
Homeostasis Lab invites digital artists to participate in its call "Novo Tempo" which is open until April 20, 2021.
The call is part of the calendar of the new phase of Homeostasis. In this first quarter, the platform was reformulated, and, as of April 22, it will present the Homeostasis Lab - Novo Tempo project, carried out by the Ministry of Tourism, Special Secretary of Culture, Government of the State of São Paulo, through the Secretariat of Culture and Creative Economy, with the idealization and organization of Phi Projetos and UGI Projetos Culturais.
At Novo Tempo, Homeostasis will feature unprecedented exhibitions curated by eight Brazilians: Flávio Carvalho, Gabriel Menotti, Guilherme Teixeira, Luciana de Paula Santos, Mari Nagem, Paloma Oliveira, Pedro Caetano and Rudá Cabral. Each curator was invited to create an exhibition focused on the impact of digital media on the poetics and aesthetics of contemporary art, on research on the effects of a reality in the Internet's ethereal territory.
The program also includes free online panel talks with researchers and artists of culture and digital art who debate, with the public, issues that intertwine the visual arts with science and new technologies. The conversations appear as an extension of the curatorships to promote critical-theoretical thinking.
Registration for the call is free and can be done on the homeostasislab.org website. The works will be analyzed by the curatorial team and founders of the project: Julia Borges Araña and Guilherme Brandão. The approval's announcement of each artist will be individually by email. The curatorship will also choose three "revelation works" (R $ 1,000 each).
"The main requirement for curatorship is that the works can be shown on the Internet and that they have a conceptual connection with the digital," says Guilherme Brandão.
All works must belong to any net art and digital art: cybernetic art, algorithmic art, code art, generative art, net-art, glitch-art, machine learning, deep fake and other forms of artificial intelligence, transmedia installation, digital sculpture, 2D and 3D animation, game-art, holograms, transmedia performance, virtual communities, crypto art, art applications, immersive art (AR, VR, and MR), filters, animated GIF, meme, boomerang, hacker art, cyber art, digital painting, digital photography, digital poetry, bio-art, sound art, pixel art, software art, among others.
About Homeostasis Lab:

The Lab is a constantly growing living collection that works through an open system that collaborates with artists, programmers, curators, and researchers worldwide. A current collective reflection on the behaviors and concepts that arise from the relationship between humans and technology impacting aesthetics, culture, and society.
