Digital devices, techniques, and new media platforms, have enabled the creation of a newfound perspective on the subject of identity. However, so long as the mind behind computers remains human, the internet will continue to be impaired by gender stereotyping, while the recurring choice of female image demonstrates symbolic reinforcement of the true circumstances of gender division in the actual, non-virtual world. Hello World presents a group of artists who, preoccupied with concepts of gender identity, respectively, explore and give form to their ideas in digital format. The works included in this exhibition question whether the digital realm indeed allows for the evolution of new forms of expression and the possibility for them to be present in our culture.
