Big Pictures Los Angeles is pleased to announce the return of the Slamdance film festival’s digital showcase DIG (Digital, Interactive & Gaming). The showcase will feature new and unseen works by emerging visual artists and indie game developers from South Africa, Poland and beyond. An opening reception will be held Friday December 1st, from 6:00pm – 9:00pm.
DIG is dedicated to spotlighting new, independent artists working in hybrid, immersive, and emerging forms of digital media art. The works cover a range of topics, including: motherhood, vagrancy, at-risk social interactions, conspicuous consumption, psychic breakdowns, multiversal dominance, mediated oblivion, and hopes for human transcendence. Projects emphasize touch, personal visual perspective, innovative connections between space and movement, and finding sense in uncertainty. The showcase is curated by: Slamdance Special Projects Manager Deron Williams, President and co-founder of Slamdance Peter Baxter, and film & game development team Seemingly Pointless (James Earl Cox III & Joe Cox).
