CALL FOR ARTISTS

In our modern era, globalization and technological advancements have made communication and connection easier than ever. As a result, whether we perceive it or not, our experience of reality is increasingly shaped by digital representations rather than direct experience. Our once agreed-upon truths are gradually shifting—not because reality itself has changed, but because media, technology, and consumer culture have redefined how we perceive it.

We are increasingly living in a state of hyperreality, where images and symbols no longer point to an external truth but instead create and sustain their own realities, reinforcing themselves through media and digital culture. These representations, once meant to reflect reality, have become detached, existing independently and shaping our perceptions more than any underlying truth.

Similarly, our identities and memories, which were once profoundly tied to lived experiences and personal history, are now increasingly mediated by external representations. Photographs, digital archives, and social media shape not only how we present ourselves to the world but also how we remember and understand our own past. In an era where simulations replace direct experience, the boundary between authentic memory and constructed narrative becomes increasingly blurred—raising the question: do we remember events as they truly were or as they have been mediated and redefined through images, screens, and curated digital histories?
