Arteaportè opens a new frontier in contemporary art and lands in Gozo, Malta, with an international exhibition organized in collaboration with ArtHall Gallery.
The exclusive space Con/Temporary Spaces ArtHall will host the group exhibition THE DIGITAL PANOPTICON: PLEASE, WATCH ME!, an artistic investigation into the digital present and contemporary identity, which is increasingly exposed, observed, and filtered.
The exhibition is inspired by the concept of the panopticon developed by Jeremy Bentham: a circular prison with a central watchtower from which all inmates can be observed without knowing if or when they are being watched. Today, this model of surveillance has been internalized, transforming into a voluntary desire for total exposure. In an era dominated by radical transparency, smart technologies, and artificial intelligence, what does it mean to be human? What is the cost of full visibility and absolute efficiency?
This call invites artists to reflect on our hyperconnected present and the progressive loss of depth, complexity, and narrative
