Art X Gallery Open Call

Introducing “Synthetica and Alterica” – Silicon Valley International Contemporary Art Competition and Art Review Exhibition:

In an age where technology permeates every aspect of our lives, Synthetica and Alterica invites artists to explore the evolving relationship between artificial intelligence and the human experience. This is not merely an exhibition but a reflection of the complex interplay between innovation and identity in our increasingly digital world.

We seek to showcase works that question how technology is reshaping our understanding of creativity, identity, and otherness. Synthetica represents the seamless integration of technology and artistic expression, a merging of human and machine that pushes the boundaries of what we consider possible in the creative realm. Alterica, on the other hand, delves into concepts of exclusion and difference, exploring how technology both connects and isolates, creating spaces of belonging while also reinforcing divides.

Awards and Benefits:

The Silicon Valley International Contemporary Art Competition will announce its winners within 8 business days after the final registration date. Winners will receive certificates of recognition and their achievements will be highlighted in major media outlets across the UK, US, Europe, and beyond, granting them significant international exposure.

In addition to the online exhibition opportunity from December 30, 2024, to January 30, 2025, Exhibition grand prize winners will also secure a coveted spot in the 2025 group exhibition at ArtX Gallery. Furthermore, the recipient of the Grand Prize will be invited to join the academic committee, enhancing their professional involvement in the art community.

If any winning artworks are sold during the competition or exhibition period, the artist will retain the full commission from these sales.
