Photographers are presenting works in response to UNITY, images that have been created to express the state of being united or disunited, joined as a whole or torn apart, whether from an individual, collective or other perspective.Exhibition is curated entirely on the felt process - how the panel responds emotionally and somatically to works received. Felt Photographic celebrates the fundamental call to create - to help make sense of the world, who we are and our place in it.

The presentation of The New Museum of Networked Art at TRYST - 27-29 October 2023 - does present the museum as a cross-platform, internationally active initiative with the selection of 6 of its projects realized since 2005, which represent all the other projects that have been realized to date. The loop presentation would like to give an impression of the current focus on art with moving images and the global networking activities with the diversity of artistic and curatorial concepts that the museum stands for, using not complete videos, but rather representative excerpts of different lengths in order to underline the concepts of the presented projects.

Art can be a powerful tool for healing. It can help to express emotions, connect with others, and find meaning in difficult times. New media art can inspire artists and members of the community, to find a common ground and take action to make a difference in the world.

Our world is facing many changes, from climate change to political instability. After the pandemic, war, violence, discrimination, and intolerance, still are on the streets, on a daily basis. The festival wants to show that in times like these, it is more important than ever to find ways to come together and take care of our body, mind, and spirit. This year’s Miami New Media Festival (MNMF) as an event with in-person (indoor and outdoor), and online activities

The festival wants to gather and share new media artworks and performances, that help to reflect and get the better of this difficult time.

Consequently, the MNMF is presenting video artworks of international artist about their thoughts on Global Healing.
