The Artists Forum Juried Arts Competition

THE ARTISTS FORUM invites artists to showcase interpretations for the phrase: Techno-Feudalism. Techno-feudalism, a recently coined term by Greek economist and politician Yanis Vaoufakis, is the transformation of capitalism by tech platforms, done by exploiting the labor force through new technologies.

An example of this concept would be companies hiring people to work from home or through and app, but not paying for employees computers, car repairs, or the infrastructure needed to perform their work.

An expansion on this concept covers the manipulating of media to better serve a political agenda, such as running bots on niche topics that create a sense of divisiveness or political unease.

Expression of Interest for Virtual, Art, Music & Film Festival

Through vibrant music, art, movement and thoughtful discourse, we celebrate our love of the natural world, the creativity and diversity of Earth’s ecosystems, and the ingenuity of artists. 

For the next Natural Resonance Festival, we are seeking artists, musicians, filmmakers, and writers that are inspired by the environment around them. We are also broadening our horizons to include classical music performances of composers, documentaries, and spoken poetry!

This year, our theme is RESILIENCE. Within this theme, we will be viewing resilience through the perspective of our personal wellbeing, our ecosystems, and our communities.
