Organizer Information:
Loop Art Critique is an evolving artwork-as-platform that began in 2022, designed to foster deep artistic dialogue, critique, and experimental exhibition. Hosting 4 private critique sessions per year, Loop supports 6–8 artists per session through intimate group discussions and culminates in the public exhibition of the artists’ works. The platform emphasizes co-learning, mutual respect, and artistic exploration in both digital and physical spaces.
Title & Description:
▒▒▒dreamRAM▒▒▒::newfangled verses
This virtual residency and critique program invites artists to step into the role of dimensional hackers — creators who seek to transcend the flat screen and build in the immersive realms of the spatial web. Through 10 weeks of private critiques and collaborative learning, artists will develop new works for a metaverse-based group exhibition. The program supports experimentation with interactivity, generative tools, 3D environments, and connectivity, all within a nurturing, anonymous, and feedback-focused setting.
