About
Created in 2012, the International Digital Art Biennial (BIAN) is a major contemporary art exhibition dedicated to digital art.
The 4th edition will take place from June 29 to August 5 at Arsenal Contemporary Art Montreal. Themed AUTOMATA - Sing the Body Electric, it is inspired by Walt Whitman’s best known early work, “I Sing the Body Electric” (1855). Nowadays, “electrified” bodies interact in many more and new ways, with other bodies and with other systems. In the Anthropocene era, as the dream of the augmented body becomes a reality, it is more necessary than ever before that we question our relationship with different technologies as well as their impact on nature.
For all information on the BIAN, please consult the Elektra website.
