Artists at the Digital Border

The research project is under the title “Artists at the Digital Border” and IVC will be the host organization in Lebanon, as we are curating several interviews, round tables, and workshops with several Lebanese artist working in conjunction with international artists to collect testimonies and research data for the intended project to accumulate into writing a manifesto concerning artists’ mobility and digital borders. The research group is now conducting semi-public interviews or what we call Salons with artists from several countries around the world, talking about the relationship between the body and the virtual: How the artist’s body encounters borders in the virtual; the use of technology in art vs. physical presence; border crossing and how it affects the artistic practice.
