“Well Now WTF?” is an online exhibition that’s also something of an extravaganza. Curated by the artists Faith Holland and Lorna Mills and by Wade Wallerstein, founder of the digital art space Silicon Valet (which is hosting the show), it features nearly 125 contributions. The result feels like equal parts experiment, grab bag and virtual gathering — which I love. It’s imperfect but energetic and genuine.
GOING ONS ABOUT TOWN
Well Now WTF?
THE INTERNET - Museums are closed. School is cancelled. The world is shut off and we’re stuck indoors. In spite of everything, Silicon Valet is pleased to present Well Now WTF? An online exhibition curated by Faith Holland, Lorna Mills, and Wade Wallerstein featuring 100+ artists with moving image practices that first opened April 4, 2020. On May 2, 2020 an additional 40 artists join the exhibition.
ALTERED EGO
Altered Ego is a MACAA online exhibition juried by Liz Roberts. The exhibition engages with the fluid and untethered notion of identity, which has been complicated with the invention of the Internet. This invention has created innumerable opportunities for the exploration of multiple selves. Artists within this exhibition are engaging with the Internet's effect on Identity, the indefinability of self, and what the future of the self may look like.
