DXARTS at Freeway Park
September 1st

SPAM New Media Festival presents the work of artists Esteban Agosin, Nicolas Kisic Aguirre, Laura Luna Castillo, CHARI, Umut Gunduz, Afroditi Psarra and Sadaf Sadri, from the University of Washington’s DXARTS’ Phd platform. This collective activation of Freeway Park begins SPAM’s Summer/Fall program of events in Seattle and is part of the Downtown ARTS Recovery Program for 2023. As a commonality, practitioners at DXARTS work with digital and experimental media—including sound, video, mechatronics, photogrammetry, radio and AI. The participating artists have occupied Freeway Park with sound performance and installation, video work, and sculptural intervention, much of which draws on data sets, collective memory and other kinds of archives. The result is a collection of works which ruminate on the space’s architecture, on possibilities of transcendence, and on ideas of alternativity which arise out of artistic practice and research.
