Cloud-as-Ouroboros: the Post-Digital Infinite Scroll is a pavilion of the 7th edition of the Wrong Biennale.

Curated by Alan Perry, Snow Chen, & the Algorithm

Curatorial Statement:

The form of the ouroboros, the snake eating its own tail, is inscribed in both our digital microcosm and the celestial macrocosm: in the night sky as the twin astrological nodes of the Head and Tail of the Dragon, and in our palms as the infinite scroll of social media platforms as we consume content and regurgitate it back into the system as more content to be consumed. Within this pavilion, artists turn toward magick as compass and critical lens, to tap into a language of code or charm in order to navigate the post-digital cosmos. In defiance of technofeudal lords, we gather to dream in circuitry, to move unseen, and to reclaim the ineffable from data's devouring glare.

Submission Guidelines:

We are seeking still and moving image work for an international virtual exhibition involving algorithms and the occult. Artists working with still image, video, creative coding, and other forms of moving image, broadly understood, are strongly encouraged to apply. We invite submissions that explore themes including, but not limited to:

• Video-as-ritual

• ...

Please complete your submission of work with a compact file that can be presented in a web browser. Submissions that cannot be presented in a web browser cannot be accepted. Selected artists will be contacted on a rolling basis.
