Award 2021
Welcome to the Social Art Award 2021 – Online Gallery!
We are grateful for the many inspiring contributions from artists around the world. The selected works reflect a broad spectrum of contemporary social art practices and explore new relationships between humans, nature, and technology. They address themes such as ecological regeneration, climate justice, sustainable futures, social resilience, and more-than-human perspectives.
Below you will find the submissions from the Social Art Award 2021 – New Greening edition that passed the initial jury round. The Online Gallery offers public visibility to these works and encourages dialogue around their ideas and approaches; it does not replace the final jury decision.
Thank you to all artists for sharing your visionary and committed work. We invite you to explore the gallery and engage with the perspectives shaping New Greening.
(dis)locations
Aurelie Crisetig
‘(dis)locations’ depicts the alteration of landscapes through digital topography. Every pattern of land represents a variation of time and space in both the digital and physical world. These patchworks of sceneries taken from Google Earth express how diverse a location on our planet can appear through a digital apparatus. These transfigurations were digitally seized by a dispositive used to capture landscapes, but also physically transformed by the global warming produced by human beings. Both changes depict the unpredictable development of landscape during our tumultuous time.
