The Digital Muddy Expanded Media Festival V1.0

Digital Muddy poster thumbnail image"Crisis of the Visual is an expanded media exhibition curated by Nia Burks. Each of the selected works in the show explores a different avenue of issues related to expiration, trace, and temporality in artworks that exist in an environment where preservation, documentation, and relic are highly regarded within the platform of their creation.

Digital space is marked by view counts, likes, photographic or physical evidence and other markers of audience/creator presence that display traces of an artworks occupancy in a world where their survival is constantly being threatened by shelf life, planned obsolescence, and malfunctioning technology." bigmuddyfilm.com
