Programming 2024-2028 : On a Human Scale
On a Human Scale explores the interdependence of digital arts, equity, and community dynamics, highlighting how technology can foster empathy, inclusivity, and resilience while addressing systems of oppression and inequity. Inspired by (cyber)feminisms, queer studies, Afrofuturism, and anti-oppressive practices, it investigates how digital tools nurture collaboration, mutual recognition, and shared responsibility. Central to this theme is the transformation of dystopian narratives into grounded, hopeful realities rooted in the “here and now,” examining how technologies shape cultures, identities, shared values, and collective memories while preserving and reimagining local and global ecosystems. On a Human Scale envisions a world where digital innovation contributes to a sustainable, interconnected, and equitable society, supporting works and practices that strengthen relationships among individuals, communities, and the environment, while grounding technological advances in values of inclusivity, equity, and shared responsibility.
