"Indigenous futurism
for me as a First Nation woman I really have never heard of Indigenous futurism prior to tagging my own work as such. as an extremely introverted person I love to explore alternative mindsets. even as a child I hid in science fiction stories from the very first episodes of Space 1999 and Star Trek. As I approached adulthood i developed a huge appreciation for comics, film, and music which is reflected in my aspects of multimedia work.
As an older adult, I merged my First Nation history and story telling culture (the indigenous knowledge of my communities), with my post secondary environmental science studies. It was in those communities that I was introduced to sacred sites, where they believed that through ceremony, portals to alternative universes opened.
I am a sacred knowledge keeper and I create artwork or stories absolutely with those portals in mind. This includes incorporating one of our sacred teachings - of planning our resources use with up to seven generations in mind.
My heart and mind travel to different time and spaces and I don’t or can’t even limit that to one style of artwork-In this way I am wholly an Indigenous Futurist and explorer." - Tipi ᑎᐱ
_glitched reality_ by 𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙖_✨(2024)
"Sooo in my mind the nothing is unreal…! The moment your mind conceives it and believes it, it becomes reality! Thing is, the amount of emotion we put into the unreal it’s the energy that glitches reality!
I’m a graphic designer for 20 years now, and the last 10 years I lost my passion for creating art! I always loved creating digital art.. when I found Ai and midjourney it felt like my art passion came back! I realized that with not so much time and definitely less effort I could create things that before it took me days or weeks to finish! So I was fascinated to explore this new world… And then I joined this community and opportunities I never thought I could get came to me… Won open calls and I’ve exhibited my art all over the world which for me it’s the ultimate achievement! As an artist seeing my art in a gallery and people admiring, it’s a feeling I will cherish forever. It’s way more satisfying than selling NFTs." - 𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙖_✨
Hands of Fate by tiv (2024)
“At the end of the day what really interests me is not how AI can replicate what came before but what it's own unique signature is when looking at "flaws" or aberrations that occur. We say that this is what makes us human after all do we not? Don't get me wrong I love being able to conjure all sorts of things, but there are ways the AI can jam things together because of inconsistent semantic understanding during the diffusion process that a human simply wouldn't have chosen to do of their own volition. Being unconstrained in this manner leads to all sorts of weirdness.” - tiv

Project Space 110 is a new, non-commercial and artist-run gallery located in the Xindian district of New Taipei City, Taiwan — by the scenic Bitan riverside.

Our ground floor gallery consists of a street-facing Main Room, Back Room, and additional smaller experimental spaces. The upper floors house the art studios of gallery co-founders Jocelyn Shu, Tim Budden, and Dang Yang.

數位藝術展覽 | Digital Art Exhibition
Project Space 110 與 Glitch Art Gallery 聯合呈獻
策展人： jonCates
當藝術家與科技不再乖乖聽話時，數位藝術會呈現什麼樣貌？Project Space 110 與國際知名 Glitch Art Gallery（創始人兼策展人 jonCates）攜手合作，於今年春季推出跨越邊界的《數位藝術》展覽。本次展覽邀請來自台灣及世界各地的藝術家共同參與，國際藝術家包括來自加拿大的 Tipi ᑎᐱ、巴西的 Estelle Flores、阿根廷的 Aura、美國的 Anna Clara Voog、南非的 PunksDistorted 等人，與台灣當地藝術家台妹（Tai Mei）、許海文（HSU Hai-Wen）、鄭姵廷（Pei-ting Cheng）、Eva.Z! 等共同展出。
DJ H$1N、 Toilet Alien 和 JOJOn2 將在4月11日開幕之夜進行表演，以這場免費開放的公共活動拉開展覽的序幕。歡迎各界人士蒞臨 Project Space 110，一起共同慶祝與感受數位藝術的無限可能性。
jonCates是故障藝術(Glitch Art)領域的創始學者與藝術家。從奧地利知名的電子藝術節(Ars Electronica Festival in Austria)到紐約移動影像博物館(the Museum of Moving Image),以及紐約的藝術組織Rhizome,Cates在全球數位藝術市場擁有豐富的策展和展覽經驗。臺灣最大且最知名的當代藝術出版品《今藝術ARTCO》和《典藏ARTouch》曾評論:「jonCates的《鬼鎮》運用故障藝術媒材切入探討社會現象,提供另類的觀看方式討論當代影像美學。」他的故障藝術作品表現的鬼魅、混亂和迷樣的科技影像,映照出美國西部發展中的幻象與衝突。作為多個國際新媒體與媒體藝術系所的教授,Cates曾任教於芝加哥藝術學院(SAIC),並創立了該校的新媒體核心課程。根據全國最佳藝術學院排名(Best Fine Arts Schools of the United States),該課程為美國排名前五的新媒體系所之一。
