MUD Foundation Kicks Off the Third Year of Media Under Dystopia, a Hybrid Exhibition Program Supporting Artists Working at the Center of Art + Technology

Nov 16, 2022
by Miami Art Scene™ –


MUD Foundation announces Media Under Dystopia 3.0: WASD, a new exhibition that features projects by artists that explore ideas of collaboration, performance, extractivism, and the intersection of physical and digital realms. At its core, the exhibition centers around the use of the internet as its own creative medium.

“WASD” keys became the standard for moving around virtual worlds on the left side of our keyboard interface. First used in 1986 in “Dark Castle,” a video game made by Silicon Beach Software, WASD keys became the primary form of navigating virtual spaces moving forward. The WASD edition of Media Under Dystopia 3.0 takes on the idea of WASD keys as a conceptual framework that invites participants and visitors to navigate the space of the internet as an artistic metaverse.

Each of the works call upon visitors to experience and engage

Working Alone | Breaking the Isolation that Can Surround the Pursuit of Art

Not long ago I experienced a conversation with an artist from Montana about overcoming the isolation that can appear with performing as an artist in a compact local community. As we corresponded I realized that artists living in a small community do not have a monopoly on isolation. Even artists living in the greatest towns in the world can feel alone as they pursue their craft in the solitary confines of the studio.

As a gallery proprietor, I get to shell out my days interacting with artists and collectors – it is effortless to neglect that most art is established in solitude. Creating is so distinctive from the pursuits of the rest of the environment, that even amongst friends and family you can truly feel on your own.

I would like to share the e mail I received from an additional artist, Helen in Montana, describing the groups she belongs

Film makes me lazy. And smart. And harder working.

Why do we photograph with film?  On the one level, it is a silly question.  Why do some people like cookies and cream, and others like choc fudge?  Because it exists, it is an option, and we just do.  For those of us where film photography is an equal option to digital photography, there is no need to necessarily think further about it.  But if you are able to access the reasons for your decisions it can sometimes provide valuable insights.  When a few of us in the Pixels and Grain collective shared our thoughts about film photography it interestingly led to a suspicion it was because we were lazy. Needless to say, this led us down a little rabbit hole of thought. Alan, Christopher, and I muse on the subject in this article.  

Not a film vs digital debate

Tacoma lawn art worth a Memorial Working day weekend outing

The scent hound that little by little sales opportunities me on his drunkard’s route in a distinct Tacoma neighborhood every single day has convinced me that every single block in this city has its own exclusive characteristics.

He makes use of his nose to read all the latest community stories of wildlife murders, territorial disputes, backyard garden visitations, petroleum mishaps and these. He checks his pee-mail.

When I want to transfer on, he promptly downloads the tales on to his fur by rolling in whatever caught his interest, so he can investigate them at his leisure.

I do not share his interests nor his gifts. As an alternative, I commit all that time finding out yardscapes.

COVID-19 has specified people today a large amount of time to re-envision their room. On 1 new walk we saw a new hand-carved totem in a entrance property, a fence woven of green tree
