YES TO ALL

SMTH in collaboration with MMMAD Festival are proud to present the II International Open Call for Digital Arts under the theme ‘Yes to all’  in Plenilunio Madrid and Vialia Estación de Vigo shopping centers. In this second edition, we are looking for digital artworks that experiment with the space and format where they will be exhibited: SMTH’s large scale screens located in several of the most important shopping centres in Spain. This call will be open from 1 September to 25 October 2022.

A jury of experts composed of the artist Claudia Maté, the curator Doreen A. Ríos, the speculative designer Joel Blanco and one institutional vote –formed by the votes of a representative of each of the four convening institutions: SMTH, MMMAD, CC Plenilunio and CC Vialia Estación de Vigo– will select the five best artworks, which will receive a prize of €1,500.00 and will be exhibited on the screens of the Centro Comercial Vialia Estación de Vigo and Plenilunio Madrid from November 2022 to February 2023.

THEME:

The screens in shopping centres are large windows to information, advertising and cultural content. Yes to all opens the opportunity for international artists to rethink how the context in which their work is to be shown can condition the work itself, challenging the limits of software, distorting possible advertising realities and proposing new ways of looking at hardware.
